"F&w" means "fan and watching" your auction. And "GIN" means. "Get It now" price. ( you can add a gin as long as noone has bid). It is usually a amount that you would accept right now, instead of others bidding on the item... one person can take it now. Welcome to listia, it is fun as long as your honest, and have good communication skills. To "get verified" you go to your profile and give listia your phone number and stuff. Then your considered "trusted" and more people will bid higher numbers on your stuff. So i recommend that.
