It’s come up a few times on these boards - the issue of commonly-used acronyms on eBay and in discussions here. I’m posting this thread as a quick reference and something to which we can refer people who aren’t aware of those acronyms. Please add acronyms or terms as needed. I’ll be pinning this thread (but of course it will only be pinned for me, not for others). Anyone interested should be able to bookmark it, though, and you can always copy it into a macro for quick posting. Abbreviations on eBay and on these Community Boards – Quick Reference. OP = original poster (or opening post) of a new thread. MBG = eBay’s Money Back Guarantee INR = Item Not Received SNAD or INAD = Significantly Not As Described / Item Not As Described (both of which mean essentially the same thing) EDD = Estimated Delivery Date (date by which eBay estimates the buyer will receive their item) EDR / EDDR = Estimated Delivery Range / Estimated Delivery Date Range ETA = Estimated Tine of Arrival (often more correctly replaced on eBay with EDD) COM = Change of Mind BR = Buyer’s Remorse COP = Cash on Pickup BIN = Buy It Now BBL = Blocked Bidder/Buyer List NPB = Non Paying Bidder/Buyer That’s a start. I’m sure I’ve missed quite a few…
