Perfect for ebay-sniping! Been using Gixen for 5 years and it has ALWAYS delivered perfectly! Supremely priceworthy!
Recommend wholeheartedly!
Used Gixen for a few years - also bought the mirror for a very modest price
They've never missed a bid of mine and report fully on outcomes.
Really good
I've been a subscriber of Gixen since 2007.
It has always been reliable and has saved me untold amounts of money buying products on eBay.
I have found Gixen fantastic in winning eBay items. It is great not to have to declare interest in an item and choose then my top bid... and the added benefit of being able to remove bids on Gixen if I change my mind. I find the majority of times it runs very smoothly with no hitches...
This is a wonderful site. It works extremely well. I would recommend the site to anyone and urge everyone to pay the money for access to the mirror site.
I'm using snipes and programs for years!
Since I found Gixen, I use only that. No problems, no wasting time... Easy and friendly page! The perfect online snipe ever!
I was using Gixen long before there was a pay option. The free service is still available and would probably suit my purposes, but I'm a paid customer because I appreciate the work that has been put into the site. It is simple and effective and when there are upgrades they are genuine upgrades and not just 'moving the furniture around' to look like something is being done. And by keeping me from getting "auction fever" is has probably saved me more than I've paid.
I have been using Gixen for some year and I suscribe to their mirror service too, the only problems I have had have been when ebay implemented new security mesures but in a few hours they solved them. Photo below is a purchase I made in Ebay Germany

The best kept secret in auction bidding. Hasn't failed me once. Allows me to place the maximum I'd pay with no emotion involved. Continued support, no complaints.
I'd never used a snipe tool before, but I sure had heard about them.
After many losing bids, I decided to give GIXEN a try, and to my surprise it really made a huge difference. It's totally easy to use, extremely reliable and it really WORKS! Way better value than all the others, only a small annual subscription fee. Huge difference, I'm a verrrrrry happy customer.
Gixen is second to none amongst Sniping services in both quality and value. The owner, Mario - a great guy who I've personally communicated with - is like a modern day Robin Hood in that he could charge much more for his service but instead opts for the "Glory!" God Bless him!
He offers his service for free (1 satellite) and only charges a nominal $6/year for an optional mirror satellite (which insures your bid is logged in the event the transmission to the first satellite is blocked).
I've been more than satisfied for over 10 years and will be a customer for life! Thank you, Mario!
I have used gixen.com over the years in both free and subscription with mirror and won multiple auctions. Havealways been happy with Gixen. It is also good not to have to be there to bid.

I have been a big buyer on eBay since its inception, buying used equipment to refurbish and resell. Over a year ago I switched to Gixen for my eBay transactions, about 1,000 per year, and I have found it very reliable with good communication. I highly recommend the service.
I've used Gixen for years and it always comes thru. Simple... it just works. I've won many auctions with this tool and would highly recommend it to anybody.
Gixen's web design hasn't really been updated since it launched, but the service is excellent and the back end has kept up with the latest (Ebay API, etc.). The service is very reasonably priced and there's no ancient desktop software to make it work. It has all the features you need and no nonsense. It has no doubt saved me thousands of dollars in snipes.
I have been using Gixen for well over a year, first the free service, and then finally I paid for two-years of enhanced service about a year ago. I haven't had the slightest problem in using it. It's so easy and economical. A Gixen button displays on the eBay page for the item you are bidding on, and you simply click that to bring up a Gixen window with the item number already entered in the window. You then sign in and enter your bid. Simple. I will definitely be renewing my two-year subscription when it runs out.
Simple and reliable. Cost effective $6/year I think. I've been using it for several years now without problems. It levels the playing field bidding, everyone gets one shot at the same time.
I highly recommend Gixen as an auction service. I've had Auction Sniper in the past but found that I am more successful with Gixen. The cost of the service is well within reason than most of it's competitors and their customer service is right there to assist if you have any questions. Gixen is my auction sniper of choice. I also prefer the way they detail what you are bidding on within the site. Compared to others that I've done business with, I like this one the best
I rely on Gixen to place my proxy bids on eBay, and it has never let me down. Very inexpensive, super-reliable, and the site administrator, Mario, is very responsive. I'm very glad to have the service, and it helps me save money on my bidding, taking the emotion out of the process.
Honestly the best eBay auction sniper there is... And I've tried them all. The level of professionalism, communication, and tactical proficiency is unmatched.
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.
