To have a GIN option, you have to be a member for so many weeks, check in so many times, sell so many items, receive and give 5 positive feedbacks, etc. it's simple. I think so many fans too. But it took me maybe a month to get my sellers wings. It's not long. (Sellers wings --you will get the GIN option). Tho sellers have to pay to offer a GIN ton their auction, plus Listia takes 10% of the winnings if used. And GIN can't be less than 2000 and no more than 500,000 I believe.
