JB Hi-Fi is refunding $250,000 to customers after it was investigated over allegedly misleading sale prices . The retailer allegedly marketed 17 products as sale items, despite the product only being offered at the original higher price for short periods , or long before the product was marked down on sale .
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) investigated the pricing between March and September 2025 and found that 206 customers bought products with a misleading sale advertised. JB Hi-Fi will refund $250,000 to customers after the investigation by the ACCC. The ACCC said it they will not take further action against JB Hi-Fi due to the retailer’s co-operation. Customers affected will be refunded the money directly from JB Hi-Fi and some will have already received money back into their accounts.
Others will be contacted by JB Hi-Fi. Last month, Coles was found to have purposefully hiked prices for short periods, only to then be discounted down to a price that was still higher than just a few weeks earlier. The watchdog ACCC has warned JB Hi-Fi customers to be wary of scams over the next weeks, with scammers likely to use the controversy to their advantage.
