I didn't get it until I reached my "limit"- lol- Listia sort of enforces a rule or limit on us "fanning" so that our FANS ratio must be a certain number close to the number of PEOPLE WE FANNED"- does that make sense? I used to go around fanning every one whose auctions I liked and reached a limit because alot of them didn't know I had fanned and/or didn't fan back- so its good to try to be a fan of your fans and vice versa and then you won't have to worry about the "limit"- I can't for the life of me remember the ratio (numerically) but I hope that helps and THANK YOU for FANNING ME ;) God Bless!!!!
