Electronics Equipment

Certain electronics equipment, including equipment prohibited by the Info-communications Development Authority of Singapore, is not permitted to be listed on eBay. Please see Some Examples for examples of electronic devices not permitted for sale on eBay.

Under Singapore law, it is an offence to offer for sale any telecommunications equipment without a licence. Most types of telecommunications equipment are also subject to import controls. However, small quantities (one or two sets) of certain electronic equipment can be imported for an individual’s own use without a licence.

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

Examples of prohibited electronics equipment

  • Scanning Receivers

  • Military Communication Equipment

  • Telephone Voice Changing Equipment

  • Automatic Call Diverters

  • Radio-communication Equipment operating in frequency bands 890-915 MHz and 935-960 MHz except Cellular Mobile Phones or such other equipment approved by the Authority

Examples of electronic equipment that may be imported for individual use:

  • Internet enabled hand phone/Cellular mobile phone

  • Stand-alone GPS equipment (air/maritime)

  • Remote controlled toy

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of certain electronic equipment has been prohibited or regulated in Singapore, sellers may not list them on eBay.
