Just got cheated by a long time ozb users of $50 who was selling gift cards
Looks like he sold to multiple users the same gift card
And now his profile shows as disabled
Any idea on how to resolve and get back the money ?

well the account's not disabled so maybe use your head.
The seller in that post was also a long time user, another example of ops warning. Is your last Brain cell dead?
This is bigw gift card seller
Yep he is the one
why not share name or profile?????? or link to post??
Of course, its always buyer beware when using classifieds.
In fact you should never buy anything on there unless you are prepared to lose your money.
Damn, dude’s got a racket going!
You could look up Mr or Mrs Disabled User in the phone book.
I prefer gambling on the horses than buying gift cards off internet randoms.
Next time, try to use a little common sense… If it's too good to be true then it most likely is.
Big W GCs are valid at WOW and WOW group stores. So it's almost identical to cash because who doesn't need to buy groceries and many items at WOW are nearly as cheap as you can buy anywhere else. No one can get them for 18% or more off so how the heck can he sell it for that price and make a profit/break even?
Bigw e-gift cards aren’t not valid in other Woolworths group stores
Update ur general knowledge instead of advising others of common knowledge
OzBargain could be in th $hit if this boils over.
Yes, OzBargain has a disclainer, BUT it was still the platform used for this scam to happen.
Everything digital should be banned from Classifieds from now until this issue is resolved.
This isn't the first time someone on Ozb was scammed on Ozb…
ozbargain will be alrightBigger than $4K?
What about Gumtree? They're still up and running.
And how would you resolve this issue?
That's not how it works.

As a long time OzB user I am offended by this.
Same.
I guess it depends if they're only active on classifieds
There's plenty of perfectly old ancient OzB users that are trustworthy.
Shame there are scammers everywhere, now finally reaching to OzB (what I considered to be a safe haven..)
Even moderators can disappear: ozpete 403 Access Denied, TeaEarlGreyHot last seen 2015, pauly last seen 2013.
I think back in those days they were unpaid moderators.
As a long time OzB user people should definitely beware of me.
Aww you're harmless aren't you? You wouldn't sell something through classifieds then leave someone high and dry?
This wouldn't have happened under PJC's watch.
PJC only polices business' selling jewellery, mumbling about some dance.
Might be able to speak to a mod, but usually it’s just buyer beware
