The chances are that you”ll find more specific jargon related to whatever you”re selling, but it”d be an impossible task to cover it all here.
If you can”t figure one out from your knowledge of the subject, then type the term into a search engine, followed by the word “ebay”.
The chances are that someone, somewhere will have seen fit to explain it.
While it”s good to be able to understand others” lingo, avoid using it unless you really need to (for example, if you run out of space in an item”s title).
Many people on ebay are not knowledgeable buyers and you will lose them if you write a load of gobbledegook all across your auction.

Are you emailing your customers?
I use eBays own Selling Manager Pro that automates all of the stuff below. I advise you get using it asap. The cost is very low and there is a free period at the start too.
If not or before you use it -
It”s worth sending a brief email when transactions go through: something like a simple ‘Thank you for buying my item, please let me know when you have sent the payment’.
Follow this up with ‘Thanks for your payment, I have posted your [item name] today’.
You will be surprised how many problems you will avoid just by communicating this way.
