Some Examples
- Franking machine

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 Singapore Post as a form of pre-paid postage.

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.
