Certain electronics equipment, including equipment deemed unlawful by government agencies such as the Australian Communications Authority (ACA), is not permitted on eBay.
eBay does not permit the sale of items that can be used to descramble or facilitate the access to cable or satellite television programming without authorisation or payment. Stating the item is for educational or test purposes will not legitimise a product that is otherwise inappropriate.
Information on "how to" descramble or gain access to cable or satellite television programming without authorisation or payment is similarly not allowed. eBay policy also prohibits the "encouragement" of this type of activity. If your item is marketed in such a manner, the listing may be ended early by eBay.
Some examples of items, which are not allowed, include:
Smart Card Programmers and Unloopers
Programmed Smart Cards
Blocker Devices
Hardware or Software DSS Emulators
This information is not intended to be legal advice, but we hope it will help you trade safely on eBay. It is not an exclusive list, and sellers will need to take steps to assure their listing is lawful and does not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties.
