Explanation:
FOB = free on board.
This term is usually used in transport conditions. I guessq uit is an invention for marketing, probably referring to participants that do not have to pay (do not cost anything).

Explanation:
FOB is an abrrevitation for free on board. This is the basis of an export contract in which the seller pays for sending the goods to the port of shipment and loading them on to the ship or aircraft. The seller also pays for the insurance up to this point. Thereafter, the transport and insurance charges have to be paid by the buyer.
