Electronic Surveillance Equipment eBay does not permit the sale of products that are designed primarily to record the private oral, wire, or electronic conversations of others without their knowledge or permission. These items (for example, small, easily hidden transmitting devices such as telephone "bugs", "wiretap" devices, "miniature transmitters", and "surveillance microphones") are illegal to possess or sell under the Crimes Act 1914(Cth), and their use also violates the law in many states and countries.

Additional Information Several states (including NSW) prohibit the use of photographic devices to surreptitiously view or record individuals for sexual purposes. Listings that promote such activity are not permitted on eBay. SUMMARY OFFENCES ACT 1988 (NSW) Why does eBay have this policy? Member privacy is a building block of the eBay community. eBay treats member privacy rights with great respect. eBay expects community members to treat privacy with the same level of respect. Furthermore, eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of electronic surveillance equipment is prohibited by law, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers are not permitted to list them on eBay. Related Help topics | ||
