Indonesia: Ministry of Communication and Digital blocked access to eBay for failure to fulfil registration obligations as required by Regulation No. 5 of 2020 concerning Private Electronic System Organisers

On 28 June 2025, the Ministry of Communication and Digital imposed an administrative sanction by terminating access to three Private Electronic System Providers, including eBay. The administrative sanction was imposed due to the providers’ noncompliance with the registration requirements under Regulation No. 5 of 2020 on Private Electronic System Organisers, despite previous notifications and warning letters. According to the Ministry, the access termination aims to uphold the law, promote a more orderly and accountable digital environment, ensure equal obligations across all electronic system providers, and protect users from potential risks posed by unregistered services.
