Credit and debit cards policy

Policy overview

Some types of cards are considered collectable and may have some value to certain collectors. eBay allows the listing of inactive credit or debit cards, as long as the expiration date on the face of the card is at least 10 years old.

Before listing this type of item, you must:

• Block out or blur the name and part of the number on the card if including a picture in the listing

• Include the expiration date in the description and picture

• Look at the terms and conditions from the issuing card company to make sure the sale of the expired card is allowed. Some credit and debit card companies keep ownership even after the card expires.

Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.

What are the guidelines?

Why does eBay have this policy?

Unexpired credit or debit cards can't lawfully be transferred from one person to another, and sellers may not list such items. The transfer of recently expired credit cards raises privacy concerns and creates the potential for abuse. These items also aren’t allowed to be listed.
