The travel document belonging to the late actress was originally listed earlier in January but was removed by the auction website for violating its personal information policy.

However, it has been re-listed with clearance from eBay.

Listed by Tom Topol who runs the website passport-collector.com, Carrie Frances Fisher's passport acts as a record of all the places the "Star Wars" actress visited between 1983 and 1993. Stamps from Hong Kong, London, Egypt, Australia, and other destinations fill the pages inside.

Speaking to Condé Nast Traveller, passport expert Topol explained: "Celebrity passports are a special collection field, and A-list celebrities always fetch high prices on the collectors' market."

At the time of publishing this article, the current bid stands at $710.

The selling of the passport gives fans and collectors a chance to own what was most likely one of Fisher's most valued possessions for the years it was valid.

Other stamps inside the booklet include a "Trekking" stamp from Nepal in 1984, a three-month Indian visa, and a stamp from her time on the Caribbean island of St. Martens.

Carrie Fisher died from cardiac arrest on December 27, 2016, at the age of 60.

Best known for her role as Princess Leia in "Star Wars" and as Marie in "When Harry Met Sally," the passport was issued soon after Fisher had finished filming "Return of the Jedi," and the travels documented were likely for both work and leisure purposes.

All 23-pages were almost all full upon expiration, with an impressive 20 visas inside.

Ten per cent of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The charity was close to Carrie Fisher's heart given her own personal struggles with mental illness.

With six days remaining, there's still time to bid for the collectable which will be sold to the highest bidder on January 30.
