Half the confusion in K-pop shopping is vocabulary. A listing that says unsealed with all inclusions, PC only, WTT priority means something precise, and misreading it is how people end up buying an empty album sleeve. These are the terms that appear in actual listings.
Purchase and listing terms
PO means pre-order. POB is a pre-order benefit, the gift attached to ordering at a specific store. Inclusions are everything packaged with the album. Sealed means the factory shrink wrap is intact; unsealed means opened but complete. Album only or AO means the inclusions were removed and are not part of the sale, which is why those listings are so cheap.
Trading terms
WTB, WTS and WTT mean want to buy, sell and trade. ISO means in search of. Priority marks which item in a want list matters most. Pending means someone has claimed it but has not paid. Sniping is jumping in on a trade someone else already claimed, and it is the fastest way to get blocked.
Korean terms you will see in listings
Goods is used broadly for merch. Season greetings refers to the annual calendar and photobook set. Fansign is the signing event; fancall is the video call version. Unsealed condition is often described with a phrase meaning opened for card only, which tells you the CD may or may not still be present.
Shipping shorthand
Domestic and international are usually abbreviated in listings, and shipping included or excluded is stated separately from the price. In Korean marketplace listings a price followed by a note about delivery generally means the buyer pays the courier fee, which runs about 3,000 to 4,000 KRW domestically. Half shipping or split shipping in a trade post means the two parties are each covering their own postage, which is the default assumption unless the listing says otherwise.

Why do album-only listings exist?
Because someone bought copies for the cards or for chart counting and has no use for the discs. They are the cheapest way to get a physical album if you do not care about inclusions.
What does random mean on a product page?
That the card or version included is drawn from a pool and cannot be chosen. Some stores offer a set version at a higher price, so check before assuming.
Is there a standard for describing condition?
Not a formal one, but the flaw vocabulary is fairly consistent across the community. Ask for photos rather than trusting adjectives.
