Use this tool all the time for sniping, found it years ago - well priced and never looked back. Cannot understand the negative reviews! 5 STARS!
I've used Gixen's paid mirror service for a few years now. I love the reliability of the service and using sniping software in general has snagged me several items at much lower bid prices then I would have normally. The price is low enough that it's a no brainer every year when it's time to renew.
I have been using Gixen for a long time, and always found it to be easy to use, and foolproof.
I highly recommend it.

Gixen is simply the best eBay sniping service I've ever used. The free version is good, but the paid is even better. The price for high availability is great and for several years of using it I've never had a single issue, while I've won practically every auction I was bidding for.
I can't recommend it more!
Never had any problems in three years of use. Made me savings for sure and saved me getting silly in the last seconds of a followed auction. Would recommend it without hesitation.
I've been using Gixen for many years now... it just works. For the price - I have always subscribed to the mirror as well - there is nothing better.
Once I learned about auction sniping, I was hooked up and still convinced that defining your last price beforehand is the healthiest way of buying on an auction. I used Gixen for several years now and never had any problems with it, hence I would recommend it to anyone for bidding on eBay.
I signed up to Gixen around three years ago. I was initially looking for a reliable, free sniping service. I use eBay a lot and during the year or so I used the free service only one of my many snipes failed. Impressed by the quality of service I then decided to sign up for a paid subscription, (Gixen mirror which costs all of $6 a year). That was a couple of years ago and since then I have never had a snipe fail.
Gixen is easy to use, reliable and trustworthy with excellent notifications and support. It is glitch free, dirt cheap and bottom line has saved me hundreds of pounds (I live in the UK). It also, in this age of internet behemoths appears to be a one man operation run by a bloke called Mario. I like that about it too. Thanks Mario, great service!
Free service that gives you a huge benefit in bidding on Ebay.
With a very small annual subscription fee, even redundant.
Owner is really active in support and working together with eBay to get the best for you.
Looks more like charity than that he can make money of it.
Highly recommended.
I am daily sniping as I am a reseller in secondhand stuff, I tried a lot of different snipers, but use GIXEN now for 5 years and very happy.
What a great reliable service. I have used it for years and it has paid for itself many times over.
Gixen is a web service which lets you bid at the last moment on eBay, so only pay as much as you want, and if you get beaten then the other person was prepared to pay more!
I collect memorabilia and without Gixen's excellent sniping tool, my collection would be less than half it is. It has never let me down and is the best value for money tool you will ever need.
I sign up for two years at a time.
Highly recommended.
If you place bids often in Ebay auctions, it will be worth your while to place them with the proxy web site, Gixen. Read how it works on the Gixen's web site itself, use it truly free as long as you wish, then opt out of pay about $6 a year for the extra goodies.
I signed up to Gixen 4 years ago because most of the ebay auctions I bid in, end at 5am my local time.
My interest is Dunhill lighters and there is a wealth of them auctioned by legitimate sellers in Japan. I use the main and mirror service as a backup and my bids unfailingly are fired in by Gixen, usually 3 secs before auction end. My success rate is over 85% in winning auctions. The ones I lose are my fault for not bidding high enough.
I have found Gixen faultless in operation and I'm able to get fantastic customer service from Mario, their tec guy, if I needed help changing passwords etc. The system is 100% safe, with no problems encountered and I would recommend Gixen to anyone wanting a gauranteed 1st class sniping service.

I am using Gixen for the last 5 years and vas never disappointed. Is simple for the use and gives few options one can chose. Very happy customer.
Perfect, very convenient and reliable! Used it for 10 years and very reliable and useful. I recommend it to 100%
I work at a very flexible job where I have access to a PC, so I used to sometimes snipe eBay auctions manually. It was sort of thrilling, but I did get wrapped up in my work sometimes and forgot to snipe. Or at home my toddler sometimes pressed the off button on my PC 1 minute before an auction ended and it took 3 minutes to get it fired up again.
So eventually I thought there must be a service out there to do this automatically, and I found Gixen. I must have been using Gixen for about 4 or 5 years now. I use it through the company PC at my job, my desktop PC at home, and my Chromebook. It is just a website you access, not an app or installed software of any kind. I have never had any problem with it, I can't remember it ever failing to place my snipe, and it has saved me probably thousands of dollars while enabling me to get the stuff I want more reliably.
In fact I'd be reluctant to tell other people how great it works (and wise up my competition) except my eBay buying will probably be considerably reduced in the future anyway... partly because I already bought most everything I could ever want, and partly because of how we now have to pay sales tax on eBay, which is a bummer.
Have used Gixen on a number of occasions and it has always worked flawlessly!
I can highly recommend it!
I have won many bids thanks to Gixen. The website is easy to use and I have not experienced any security concerns. Excellent service overall.
I have used Gixen for over two years now. Works great, easy to use and most importantly has saved me money!
Cheap subscription fees which are soon recovered by the money saved by using Gixen for your Ebay bidding. Has always worked perfectly for me every time.
A major plus point for me is that it works for items on Ebay sites in other countries, not just Ebay USA. Other sniping websites I have tried only submit bids on Ebay USA so if the seller wouldn't ship to the USA my bid was automatically rejected. And all these websites were more expensive than GIXEN, were not as easy to use and I lost items as they were so slow at making bids.
I am very happy with the GIXEN service and would recommend it to anyone.
Answer: TOTALLY LEGIT! Been a paid up user for over a decade and never had a single problem.
Answer: It is obvious the reviewer had all the problems that he incorrectly blames on Gixen because he has visited other websites that have put malware/spyware/keyloggers/viruses on his computer. He won't admit that his problems are his own fault so falsely blames GIXEN for his own incompetence.
Answer: I have not needed to reach Customer Service. Their online help is pretty good. Just read.
Answer: It just works. Simple user interface. You can just "set it and forget it". Maybe the best online tool I have ever encountered.
Answer: Nothing at all. Gixen main service is free up to 4 winning snipes a month. Reliability for the free service is 99.5%. If you want higher reliability you can subscribe to Gixen Mirror. In that case your bid is sent twice, from two servers in different regions to minimize chance of failure. Gixen Mirror is inexpensive, around $6 / year, and there are different subscription types that can be seen on the settings page.
