MikeWendie - To do GIN, or to set the starting bid, when you list an auction, scroll down a bit and theres a small skinny rectangle button down on the left that says "advcanced options" ... you can set the starting bid and GIN there... starting big upp to 499 is free ... if you set it higher it's a 50 credit fee... GIN also costs 50 to list, but if it is GINed you get those 50 refunded... minimum price for gin is 2000... most people will set their GIN with the last four numbers the same like 2222 you get 2000, Listia gets 222 for a fee, or 15555, listia gets 1555 for a fee, you get 14000... (It's a ten percent fee) ...hope this helps :)
