FAQ

OZINEST is an Australian classifieds platform focused on Cars & Vehicles and Property. Users can browse listings, create an account, publish advertisements and connect directly with buyers, sellers, landlords, agents and renters across Australia.

Yes. Creating an account, browsing listings and publishing standard car or property advertisements on OZINEST is free.

OZINEST accepts advertisements related to cars, motorbikes, vans, campervans, caravans, trucks and other vehicles, as well as residential, rental, shared, commercial and holiday properties. Listings must be placed in the correct category and comply with Australian laws and OZINEST’s posting rules.

No. You can browse and search available listings without creating an account. However, you will need an account to publish, edit and manage your own advertisements.

Select My Account or Create Account, enter the requested details and follow the registration instructions. Use an email address you can access and choose a strong, unique password.

Create or sign in to your account and select Post Your Ad. Choose the correct category and location, add an accurate title and description, enter the relevant price and details, upload clear photographs and review the information before publishing.

Provide enough accurate information for users to understand what you are advertising. Vehicle listings should include details such as make, model, year, condition, kilometres and registration status. Property listings should include the location, property type, price or rent, bedrooms, bathrooms and available features.

Use a clear and specific title that describes the vehicle or property. Avoid vague titles, unnecessary capital letters and promotional phrases. For example, 2019 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport is more useful than Amazing Car for Sale.

Upload recent, clear and well-lit photographs that accurately represent the vehicle or property. Show different angles and include any important features or visible damage. Do not use photographs copied from another advertiser unless you have permission to use them.

You should not publish duplicate advertisements for the same vehicle or property. Duplicate listings may be removed because they make search results less useful and can be treated as spam.

Yes. Sign in to your account, open your listings dashboard, select the advertisement and choose the edit option. Keep the price, availability, photographs and description up to date.

Sign in, open your listings dashboard and select the delete, remove or mark-as-sold option for the relevant advertisement. You should remove or update a listing as soon as the vehicle or property is no longer available.

A listing may be awaiting review, missing required information or affected by a technical issue. Check your account dashboard and email notifications first. If the problem continues, contact OZINEST support through the Contact page.

Yes. OZINEST may edit, suspend or remove listings that are misleading, duplicated, placed in the wrong category, prohibited, suspected of fraud or inconsistent with the platform’s rules or applicable Australian laws.

Inspect the vehicle carefully and confirm that its description matches its actual condition. Check its identity, registration, ownership, service history and whether finance is owing. Consider arranging an independent mechanical inspection and completing the appropriate government checks before paying.

Can I arrange a vehicle inspection or test drive through OZINEST?

OZINEST displays the advertisement and helps users contact each other, but inspections and test drives are arranged directly between the buyer and seller. Meet in a suitable location, verify the other person’s identity and confirm insurance arrangements before allowing a test drive.

Who is responsible for registration and transfer paperwork?

The buyer and seller are responsible for completing all required registration, transfer, receipt and notification procedures. Requirements can differ between Australian states and territories, so check with the relevant transport authority before completing the sale.

Do I need a roadworthy or safety certificate to sell a vehicle?

Requirements vary according to the state or territory, registration status and type of sale. Advertisers are responsible for checking the rules that apply to their vehicle before completing a transaction.

Yes. Property owners, authorised landlords, property managers and real estate agents can publish relevant property advertisements. The person posting the listing must have the legal authority or permission required to advertise the property.

You can use OZINEST to find a rental advertisement and contact its advertiser. Any inspection, application, document submission, tenancy agreement or payment is handled directly between you and the landlord, agent or property manager.

No. OZINEST is an advertising platform and does not personally inspect every property or guarantee every statement made by an advertiser. Users must verify the address, advertiser’s identity, authority to offer the property and all relevant details before signing an agreement or transferring money.

You should be extremely cautious if someone requests money before you have inspected the property, verified the advertiser and reviewed the appropriate agreement. Do not allow anyone to pressure you into making an immediate payment.

The advertiser is responsible for ensuring that the description, price, location, photographs and availability are accurate and that they have permission to advertise the property.

No. OZINEST does not buy or sell vehicles, manage rental applications, hold deposits, arrange finance, provide insurance or process payments between users. Agreements and transactions are made directly between the parties involved.

Use the contact options displayed on the listing. Ask relevant questions and confirm important details before arranging an inspection, test drive, meeting or transaction.

Meet in a safe, well-lit location whenever possible and tell someone where you are going. Consider taking another person with you. Verify the identity of the other party, inspect the vehicle or property carefully and do not carry large amounts of cash.

Warning signs can include an unrealistically low price, copied photographs, inconsistent information, refusal to allow an inspection, pressure to act immediately, requests for advance payment or attempts to move the conversation to an unusual communication or payment service.

No. The presence of a listing on OZINEST does not guarantee the advertiser’s identity, ownership, authority, accuracy or reliability. Users must carry out their own checks before making a decision or payment.

Do not send money or provide sensitive personal information. Stop communicating with the advertiser and report the listing to OZINEST. If you believe fraud or a crime has occurred, contact your bank, the appropriate platform or payment provider and the relevant Australian authorities.

Do not publicly share passwords, banking credentials, identity-document numbers or unnecessary financial information. Only provide information required for a legitimate transaction after confirming who you are dealing with and why the information is needed.

Visit the OZINEST Contact page and send your question with the relevant listing link and a clear description of the issue. Include screenshots when they help explain a technical problem or suspicious interaction.
