Common Acronyms Used on eBay and Craigslist
Do you want to use the internet to find good deals on new and used items? If so, you may use Craigslist.org or eBay.com. These websites have great prices on a large number of items, including cars, books, movies, clothes, games, furniture, home decor, and much more. One of the few problems you may run into is the use of internet acronyms.
Internet acronyms are abbreviations. Why do Craigslist and eBay sellers occasionally use them? Sometimes, they are limited on space. Other times, it is just easier. Moreover, we have grown accustomed to fitting large messages in to small spaces, like with tweets, text messages, and instant messaging programs. To write quicker and without space worries, many use acronyms or abbreviations. Some sellers will use them without even thinking about it.
Luckily, most internet acronyms are easy to guess. On the other hand, some are harder to guess. You can continue reading on for a list on common abbreviations found on Craigslist, eBay, and other internet websites. With that said, always ask a seller if you don’t understand what they are trying to say.
LN and GU mean like new and gently used. Basically, they are a good way to say used, but not used too much. A seller may try to sell a video game they have only played once or a shirt they have only worn twice.
NWT means new with tags. This is used to describe items that have the original tags or items that still have the original packaging. On the other hand, NWOT and NWOB mean new without tags and new without the box. With these items, you take a gamble as to whether they are really new or not.
DOA means dead on arrival. This phrase is commonly used to say that an item does not work. You are buying it full well knowing that it does not work. You are buying it and will receive it broken.
You now know a few of the common abbreviations and acronyms used on eBay and Craigslist. They are more common on eBay.com than Craigslist.org, but at least you know what they mean.
