There are a dizzying array of abbreviations on sites on which you can purchase used clothing and other used goods, such as eBay, Craigslist, and Poshmark, just to name a few. Abbreviations such as EUC, VGUC, GUC, EU, NIB and NIP can be confusing, while other abbreviations are more readily recognized, such as NWT and OEM. Here is a guide to all of those abbreviations, be they on eBay, Craigslist, thredUP, Swap, or wherever you may see them.

Of course, everybody has heard of eBay and Craigslist, but there have also been a proliferation of fashion sites where you can buy used clothing. We think that some of the best such sites are Poshmark and thredUP, but there are also Snob Swap, Shop Hers, Bib + Tuck, Refashioner, The Real Real, Attic, Walk in My Closet, and many more. If you want knock-offs of what your favorite celebrity wore, you’ll like ASOS Marketplace (ASOS stands for As Seen on Screen).

Anyways, below is a list of the most common, and most frequently used uncommon, abbrevations used on Internet selling sites where you can buy used clothing and other items.
