It works and that's all I care about.
I was using JBid but thats gone now
As far as I know.
I recommend Gixen!
Ebayer since 1999, never any problems, free or inexpensive to add second backup bid. I wouldn't be without it!
I have been Gixen for many years and I just love it! I used to use eSnipe, but the fees became unmanageable. For just $6 a year, I have the same sniping functionality through Gixen with excellent reliability. I will always turn to Gixen for my sniping needs.
The title says it all but I have to put one hundred characters here so here they are. Try it out it's not much of a commitment.
A very good snipe site - worth every one of these 5 stars! Incredibly easy to understand and to use also. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
I had an android ebay bidding app several years ago and I wanted to get a few things on eBay so I tried to find a similar, one purchase price app which could help me get a few personal items. I read the Gixen.com web and history of accusations of eBay password changes and Paypal theft from 2008-2010. There were several postings of happy customers.
So I registered my ebay name and password and paid $6 for the additional mirror service level. I put in one bid on a $5 item and was about to bid on another $10 item when my computer froze with MALICIOUS adware attack popup, disabled Safari and my malwarebytes did not find any malware. I called Apple care and they said the only fix was to totally wipe my OS and reinstall-hopefully my backup system will work as advertised.
So I am about an hour away from either having my macbook pro back in operating order with or without my business data intact.
I have had this system for 2 years and this has never happened. The proximity of signing up with Gixen.com and the attack occurring is either incredibly coincidental or, in my opinion, highly related. I think going through apple store is making more sense.
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.

What is claimed in this review is a complete nonsense - there is no software Gixen installs on Mac, the only way to access the site on Mac is through a web browser.
Gixen will never install any malware / adware or anything malicious on any computer.
