depends...if it's a key fob, then like fahb. If it's F.O.B. like Freight On Board then it's F.O.B.
 
Depends. Fob is a word:

Main Entry: 2fob
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps akin to German dialect Fuppe pocket
Date: 1653
1 : WATCH POCKET
2 : a short strap, ribbon, or chain attached especially to a pocket watch
3 : an ornament attached to a fob chain

FOB stands for Freight On Board, it's a shipping term.

Actually I think its FREE on Board (shipping) It determines when the item is officially the buyers reponsibilty. Sometimes its when the item is shipped, sometimes when the item is delivered.
