Officially approved boards are sold only by authorised distributors, you can see a list of them here. If a seller is not listed on our site, chances are that they boards they sell are not original. Please note that Arduino doesn't sell directly on Ebay so you should always check that what you're buying is authentic.

Selling Arduino compatible products

It is possible to sell boards derived from the Arduino design as long as these rules are followed:

  • The product can't contain the name Arduino
  • The board can't have Arduino written anywhere on it
  • The board must not copy the Arduino Logo or graphic design
  • The auction/website title can't use the Arduino name
  • You can write in the description that the board is derived from Arduino.
  • You must explicitly say that you're not connected to Arduino and your product is a derivative
  • You must specify that any tech support request must be directed to you


i.e. If you sell a sensor that is compatible with Arduino you can call it "XYZ sensor for Arduino" and NOT "Arduino XYZ Sensor".
