Anyone want to explain BNR and BNS?

Can someone just post a reply explaining what "BNR" and "BNS" stand for?

I've looked all over Etsy and have found nothing. I just need one person to very plainly without snark or comment telling me to go look somewhere to find it, explain what these acronyms mean.

I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Bnr stands for "buy & replace" & bns stands for "buy & stay". It is basically an opportunity to make sales & meet other etsy members. Someone forms a treasury full of different shop items & if a shop wants to be included you buy an item from one of the shops listed & that shop is replaced with one of your shops items. Each bnr & bns varies on whether there is a minimum purchase, but this is normally stipulated in the creators comments.
Check out some of our teams bnr or bns links to get an idea of how it works.

Hmm, okay after reading, and re-reading, I guess I sort-of get it. I just don't think I will be able to participate in BNS or BNR stuff since I'm broke. Thanks for the clarification though.
