Ozbargain Core Rules

A. Sockpuppeting is strictly prohibited. Once violated, your account/IP/store or even brand may be permanently banned. The consequences will depend on the editor's handling. If you create multiple accounts or publish deals from a consumer's perspective, there will be serious risks (official statement). In addition, you should not ask your existing customers to help you create accounts to publish positive information.

B. Carefully evaluate the deals you are going to post. If it is not a good product with a good discount, it may be downvoted. If it is downvoted all the time, you will not have the opportunity to post it again and it will be directly blocked. This is the official explanation:

If the interval between the last two posts is equal to or less than 30 days, and the average vote of all posts in the store is less than or equal to 1 in the past 90 days, the store you represent will be automatically blocked by the system for 30 days. If it is blocked twice in a row, it will be blocked for one year afterwards.

C. Make it clear what your relationship is with the merchant. When you post, you need to clearly state which store you represent. This is the most special thing about ozbargain, as shown below.

D. The price should be low. Users on Ozbargain are very price sensitive. First put your product on a price comparison website to check if it is the lowest in Australia.
