I've been a buyer on eBay for many many years. Many times I would try to be on line at the end of the auction to adjust my bid. If you have ever tried that then you know how hard it is. With Gixen you determine how much you are willing to bid. Then in the last seconds of the auction the software will start bidding for you. I have won many more auctions since I've started using it. In fact, the only auctions I've ever lost are the ones where I was outbid. The software worked like it was designed to and I didn't have the headache of trying to do it manually.
Since I found Gixen I've recommended it to friends and everyone who has used it has told me how happy they are. I highly recommend the site to anyone who is serious about winning their auctions.
From my experience, gixen hasn't failed to snipe me a good price during auctions on popular items. This has helped me save quite a bit of money!
Gixen works great! It's free to use, but I have donated money to help keep it afloat. Use it for free. If you like it, consider their paid service to keep it in business.
I've used Gixen a few times. Often enough for me to pay for a subscription. It's pretty cheap but you get even faster snipes with a subscription. It's certainly helped me get some bargains, and is the best sniping site there is in my humble opinion. You will get the annual subscription back with your first snipe.
Simple uncluttered interface that does what it is supposed to. Subscription is incredibly fair and support is second to none.
I've been using eBay almost since its inception, and have used other sniping programs in the past. Gixen is an outstanding value, and I recommend it highly.
Try it and your own experience will confirm it's value. I have used Gixen for years, as a free service & as a paying member. The fee is so little for the extra confidence I have in my bidding, so it makes sense. Gixen never lets me down so long as I have my bid high enough. I cannot imagine going back to those early days of managing my bid directly myself without the assurance I have grown used to with Gixen. I always set up my bid on my computer since I'm not savy to do it on my phone & I'm very spoiled by all my Gixen successes over the years. Yay. Thank you!
I've never lost an auction with Gixen. Couldn't be happier. Its FREE! However if you need the subscription like I do then its only a measly 6 bucks a year! It might as well be free for that price.
I have been using Gixen for many years now & wouldn't do without it! There have been many times where I have won auctions that would not have been possible by trying to bid "live" in the last seconds of the auction.
Those not using Gixen must have wondered "what the h**l happened"? To have lost the auction in that way.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR! SUBSCRIBE TO GIXEN! Takes the "angst" out of online auctions & keeps the price down as well.

It does what it says, and I've found it to be very reliable and easy to use. I've used it a number of times, and eventually I paid extra for the service, even though you can use it for free with great results.
I stumbled upon Gixen and used it without cost a few times to win auctions. I've since donated for two years of mirrored service and am elated with the results. I've won about two dozen auctions since.
The first review of Gixen on this site speaks of malware and I have no clue what they are talking about--Gixen is a website and does not install any software.
Great site that I've accessed through desktop, laptop, and smartphone. I'm a believer.
Best eBay snipe program going. I love this utility and I have been using it for years. I highly recommend adding the mirror feature for $6.00 - totally worth it!
Used this Gixen site over many years and its highly recommended. I have many auctions using Gixen and its great value
I switched to Gixen for eBay sniping about a year ago and love it! It has never failed to bid for me, and has saved me a ton of money. The service is free, with an option to add backup mirror bidding for a low yearly charge. I purchased the mirror service primarily to support the site, but even without it I never had an issue.
After 15 years of use I must say it IS a perfect tool for bidding on eBay. Easy to use, simple, no unnecessary maze of features. Setting up a snipe takes 10 seconds. I have over a 1000 purchased items, no errors. I'm not bidding on eBay directly anymore. The desing did not change since I've been using it, that's the only thing that could be improved.
Gixen works great. I have been with them just over a year now, and they haven't missed a beat. I subscribe to the paid service and it's a great value too.
I am a music memorabilia collector who with Gixen has used ebay to buy nearly a thousand items so far. I have never lost a bid due to Gixen and in fact have used Gixen on all my bids and won every one where I was high bidder. I can't say enough about this sniping service that costs next to nothing and has never failed me. Mario the host has provided and excellent service and his communications have been respectful and professional clearly aimed at maintaining a top notch service. As long as I bid on Ebay, I will use Gixen. Mike B, Toronto
I have been using Gixen for years and have never had a single problem. It has been a godsend for me. Drop a price for a future date and forget about it. Gixen always bids for me.
Have used gixen for years with no problems at all. This is a very good service fro ebay auctions, run by one guy who does his very best for his users, and who is constantly updating and improving things. The core functionality, to assist you with sniping bids, works very well, in both free and paid modes. The price asked for a subscription is, a very modest $6 a year, is very small relative to what you will save using gixen for your bids.
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.
