Postage Meters and Franking Machines

Under Malaysian law, it is an offence to make or possess, any die, plate, instrument or materials for making any fictitious stamp. Accordingly, the listing of instruments for making any stamps, postage meters or franking machines are not permitted on eBay.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Loss of eBay fees

  • Limits placed on account privileges

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

  • Account suspension

Some Examples
  • Franking machine

  • Postage meters

Additional Information

A franking machine is a device that automatically stamps letters or packages passing through it and computes the total charge. It prints an impression of the required value of postage on the mail, which is accepted by Pos Malaysia as a form of pre-paid postage.

For additional information, please refer to the

  • Postal Services Act 1991

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of postage meters is prohibited by law, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers are not permitted to list them on eBay.
