[Clinton]

Other accounting abbreviations

[3Six]

Slippa = Sitepoint (SP) + Flippa
As Sitepoint and Flippa are owned by the same people, work from the same offices and share common goals, I thought it would be convenient to have a single word to represent them.

Added NPD = non paying bidder

[petertdavis]

Added NPD = non paying bidder

That reminds me..... I noticed your glossary doesn't have 'Shill Bidder' in it. There must be at least as many shills in Flippa as NPBs.

[tke71709]

Added NPD = non paying bidder

NPD? Why not NPB?

Oops!

OK, I've corrected it, thanks.

Peter, shill bidding is a term not unique to website auctions. But if you want to coin one for shill bidding on Flippa - like 3Six's efforts on Slippa - be my guest. And may it eventually reach the OED.
