    One to watch out for....BNWT.
    To the majority this means Brand New With Tags, but in the past there has been a couple of buyers on here saying they bought an item listed as BNWT but it was used when arrived. The seller argued BNWT meant Brand New Without Tags which to the majority should have been listed as BNWOT.

    I bought a top last week which was BNWT, but when it arrived it looked like it could have been worn and they kept the tag and fastened it back on to sell it...
