It wont let me. I would like to do 5000 but when I confirm it wont take it. I do have the credits that its asking for so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Yes you can't do a GIN till you have earned the badge for it. But you can do a higher starting bid...so the spot where you put in the starting bid of 400 credits. This will only cost about $3-4 to ship via USPS media mail. Are you not located in the US? Your location says Texas?
It's the "Wings" Badge, here's the info...Get your wings and fly! Users with the wings badge have received 5 positive feedback ratings, given 5 feedback ratings, listed at least 5 auctions and been a member for 20 days.
Once you complete those things then you can do a GIN!
