Short "Sales/Interest": The number of shares borrowed and sold "short", with the hope of buying back at a lower price. Not yet covered, ie, "Open" "interest" or "positions". FINRA reports this twice per month here: http://otce.finra.org/ESI ...
You can look here too, but sometimes lags the FINRA site

Short "Sales/Interest" Example: Investor 'A' borrows 100,000 shares, sells them, then hopes the stock goes down. If it does, Investor 'A' buys back the shares at a lower price, returns them to the lender, and keeps the price difference. FINRA reports the # of "open" shorts, those not yet bought back & returned.
Short "Volume": Intraday volume Market Makers transactions when they temporarily short a stock for a couple of seconds or a minute to fill an order in a timely manner, then cover a couple minutes later (otcshortreport). Meaningless number because it's just the first leg of a transaction reported of filling orders. Completely unrelated to short interest. This number can often be quite high for thinly traded stocks, thus more likely to get hyped as shorts, even though it's not.
Short "Volume" Example: 1,000,000 buy order comes in. MM doesn't have 1,000,000 handy to fill the order, so quickly shorts 1,000,000, fills the order for the customer rather than keep them waiting. Then after taking a sip of coffee, covers the temporary short.
Now, lets say that happens 10 times today, for a total of 10,000,000 shares, short "Volume" is 10,000,000, but at EOD, it doesn't result in any short "positions" or "interest" because they were all covered right away.
The next day, someone sees the 10,000,000 short "volume" and talks about 10 MILLION SHORTS YESTERDAY .....
Short "Volume"s MEANINGLESS... Who cares what hoops MMs had to jump through to fill orders during the day ?
"Click-Bait" sites like otcshortreport intentionally misrepresent "volume" as "interest", to attract attention, generating advertising "clicks" for themselves.
Using otcshortreport numbers is like going to the bank,
Depositing $100,
Withdrawing $100,
Depositing $100,
Withdrawing $100.....
Repeating 10 times, then saying "I deposited $1000 in the bank today", when the account is actually $0
"It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled."
For those that don't get it, it means that people need to be more careful, and do good due diligence.
