I have been using Gixen for several years, the first year or so as a free option and then upgraded to their paid version.

The service is clean and does exactly what is promoted to do. I don't place bids on eBay anymore and just use this site exclusively for placing bids. Great Job Gixen team for building a great app.

As another comment states, "Set It and Forget It". I've used that quote many times in recommending Gixen to friends. I've subscribed to Gixen Mirror for about 6 years ($11 for 2 years) now and wouldn't use anything else. Best snipe service for ridiculous cheap. Used Hammer Snipe before that for about 8 years for a more costly sum of $15 for 3 months (if memory serves correctly) and it was far less in capabilities and bid protection (did not have the mirror service). Gixen is also my Go To as my eBay Watchlist. Over the years, I've also set many, many bids through Gixen with numerous overseas eBay auction sites (eBay.de, eBay.uk, etc.). Gixen really is the Best of the Best.

I have been a paying customer of Gixen for many years. I have found them to be dependable and reliable. I particularly like that I can bid on multiples of the same or similar items, and group them together, and if I win one, the other bids are automatically cancelled. I have never had an issue with any malware or any other problems using Gixen. I am a happy customer and have recommended Gixen to family and friends, many of whom have thanked me later.

It just works
January 6, 2020

I use Gixen whenever I actually bid on something on eBay.
I give Gixen my max offer and and they enter the bid near the end of the auction. If my offer is high enough Gixen doesn't let me down. If I'm being really serious about an item I sign up for the backup server service so my offer always goes through but the free service is excellent.

I've been using gixen for 5+ years and been a subscriber for at least 4 years. It's the best way to save time and money by setting your price and letting gixen handle your sniping for you. I've saved hundreds of dollars and hours of time using their site and decided that the peace of mind of subscribing was worth the cost of a couple cups of coffee *once a year*.

If I bid enough when using Gixen they NEVER let me down. As a free service, what else can YOU ask for.
Will continue to use their service when needed... Happy bidding.

I've used Gixen for several years and love its service! Not only can I set a bid in advance and forget about it, but I can change my mind - and bid - several times, or even eliminate it completely. At first I used it for free which you can do, but its service is so wonderful I'm now a happily paying customer - and it's worth every penny. And the pennies are very few!

I've been using Gixen for about 8 years and it hasn't let me down one time. I've never had any issues with Malware or viruses. The $6.00 price has been worth every penny.

Love it
January 6, 2020

I used Gixen for a year or longer. I now use it more of less exclusively when bidding on eBay. Head and shoulders above the other eBay auction snipers that I've used.

4* rather 5" simply because logging in can sometimes take ages; and occasionally doesn't work at all. I'm a UK user and I don't if that has anything to do with it. This is more an annoyance rather than a real problem as once I've set my bid, I don't need to go back in to Gixen unless I want to edit it.

I have used several snip bidding companies. Found Gixen to be the best. Simple, easy to use. Always worked for me. As you know using snip bidding does help one from getting wrapped up and carried away in the bidding process and bidding higher than intended. I believe that eBay is structured to keep that ball rolling along and achieve the highest bid for its customers. Not that there's anything wrong with that business model, but it may produce some bidder remorse without such as Gixen. That is basically true for all snip bidders, but for me Gixen works best when i need it. But that's just my experience.

I'm not a huge eBay user, but I have been using eBay & Gixen for many years. I feel Gixen has helped me both to win bids & to significantly lower what I ultimately pay because it lessens my contributing to emotional "bidding wars". I've never had a problem with Gixen. The limited emails from them I get I find appropriate, useful, & informative. I liked the free service so much that I now buy their paid service, not because it was necessary, but rather to help support the author & his ongoing costs. BTW, Gixen also has a desktop app. You can read an unbiased respected review here: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Other-Internet-Related/Gixen-Desktop-Manager.shtml
Gixen's long-running support forum also shows that the software is the real deal: https://www.gixen.com/forum/index.php

I have been subscribing to Gixen for around 10 years. I will not bid on Ebay auctions without it. I have purchased thousands of items on Ebay using Gixen. The bids I win are all fantastic bargain prices. Knowing what items are worth, I use Gixen to bid a LOT less than they are worth. I may get a winning bid on only 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 20 items I bid on, but what I get is worth a LOT more than I paid for it.

Its great if you need a bid type sniper save time saves money wins great deals saved me thousands for work.
Had it long time now feedback over 2500 so its been fantastic asset to me for work.
Over last 5 years most my friends signed up

Tip do not bid to close to your max because it ignore your bid this is fact ebay not gixen if you want pay £10 or $10 dont just put in £10 you probably be ignored and some one buys for £10 but bid £10.50 or £11 and next increment may be £10.20 most people bid round figures you need to know ebay bidding to win item not blame Gixen. Work out whats best and win more but Gixen great tool.

Great results
January 6, 2020

Gixen has been everything it claims. I've not needed any support from them. It works seamlessly and easily.
I had used a different system for many years. The originators sold their company to another party. After that, things seemed to be ignored (including customer support).
Gixen is the best that I've used.

I am a reseller, and have used Gixen for several years. I initally resisted the paying membership, but have found the advantages of the Gixen Mirror service (two servers, remote from each other, to deliver snipes) has been well worth the tiny investment to give dependable service in case one server has an impairment. Very happy with their service!

Love Gixen!

I've been on eBay for over 20 years and have been using Gixen for the last decade give or take. Used other snipe software in the past but Gixen has been the most reliable... hasn't let me down yet.
