Gixen is the best - simples! I have been using it for years and have NEVER had any issues whatsoever. Log into the website, identify the item, set your bid and go to bed! Saved me £, 000's over the years (CCTV components just sniped saved over £1,000). I subscribe to the mirror service to ensure the service remains. Mario ensures the service works flawlessly and any problems are quickly sorted.
I have a PC and Gixen has never installed anything on it.
My wife has a Mac, and Gixen has never installed anything on it.
Gixen does not have application software, it operates via the browser.
The bidding window can be sized as tightly or loosely to auction end time as you wish,
After a couple of years of free use decided to upgrade to mirror for $6/year.
This is good software that works well and reaction time after ebay makes an interface change is incredibly fast.
The one time I had reason to call on support, the developer got back to me the same day.
Used twice, won my bid both times and was very happy with the subscription I made. I would recommend
Gixen is the best sniping service out three. I could not run my small business without Gixen helping me with my bids. They are always up and running - 24/7.
Have used Gixen for a long time 4 or 5 years. Most times I use the pay service some times the free service. I have always been happy with my bid results. Can find no faults in this service.
Gixen, a great service you can trust. A must have if you want to win some auctions. Thanks for a great service.
I use Gixen since 2005 I guess, and since then I cleared my issues with eBay auctions bidding. I won much more items than before, at a lower price, as the system works fine, and safely. They worked so fine that now they made a nice agreement with eBay to make very easy to place bids by Gixen. The unique feature to have a mirror server is very useful and sometimes really saved my bids.
I've never had any problem I buy lots from EBay and use it every time I would not be without it. Love it.
Gixen is the best sniper I've ever used. Absolutely reliable: I won all the auctions I bid on, if I bid enough money. You don't have to do nothing: simply... wait and It is free: i only pay a little money (6 USD) evey year to get the "mirror" service which is fantastic.
Thank you Gixen
Federica from Italy!
Excellent free sniping service with very inexpensive and also excellent mirror backup service. It is a service that I have used over many years and on many occasions and I have never encountered any problems.
I have been using Gixen for bidding on all my eBay auctions for nearly a year. I find it very easy and convenient to use because it links directly to my eBay user name and the eBay item number. I simply log on to the Gixen site and use the Windows "Cut-and-Paste" operation for entering the eBay item number into the entry form. I then enter my maximum bid and select the "offset time" for the auction. I use these steps for data entry for all the auctions of interest before logoff from the Gixen site. I am some outbid but using Gixen helps me avoid "Bidding wars" and paying too much to win an auction sale.

Not one of the best but, "the Best Sniper" Program.
Never lost an snipe using Gixen.
Extremely fair annual fee, excellent customer support
I had been using Powersnipe for years until it starting failing to place bids. I looked for a free alternative and found Gixen. It works perfectly for my needs. So well, in fact, that I took out their paid-for mirror subscription for no other reason than a thank you for creating a solid system which works.
Mario is answering emails, finds solutions to your questions or concerns, and the Gixen system works very well,
Fully recommended
Tout simplement le meilleur.
Fiable à 100%
Gratuit si vous attendez 60s, mais à 11$ pour 2 ans récompensez le développeur...
While the basic Gixen is free, I use the "mirror" service which offers the second server and multiple ways to customize the timing and combinations of bids and without any limitation to the number of bids. I have been a customer for about seven years with close to ******* bids on eBay during that time. You do need to understand eBay's biding rules to avoid missing out on an opportunity. While I did not win every time, I did not bid more than I wanted and often won for less than my maximum bid.
I've used Gixen for more than a decade & they are an unbelievable bargain, because they do it all...
We have used Gixen for years. If you are a buyer or seller on eBay it is a must. Many times we are not in a position to increase a bid (example: church) and if it is an item we really want, at least we can increase our bid to the maximum we are willing to pay via Gixen.
I've been a paid subscriber to Gixen for at least the last decade. ZERO complaints! I've been able to nail several Ebay items I'd never have had a chance at if not for them.
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.
