I have been using Gixen to snipe on Ebay for years, it has never let me down. Never, not once.
Highly recommend.
Pay the small fee for the software and support the developer who created it. It's nice to be nice.
Guys at Gixen put a lot of effort and attention maintaining their service at highest possible quality. I like their business model. After using free version for a while, i felt like they really deserve by subscription plan. Really appriciate their efforts and satisfied with the service. Try it yourself and if you like it, don't be shy to subscribe.
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.
I have been using ebay for many years and often lost bids in the closing stages, often when i was not near my computer. I found out about sniping and tried a few different options, and settled on GIXEN as the most reliable. I love that i can enter automatic bids that will bid when I cannot, that I can group items enabling me to only win one of many, and that i can cancel bids if i later change my mind. Gixen has rarely let me down ( usually only when ebay change the rules and Mario has to tweek Gixen to accommodate the ebay changes). I typically place dozens of ebay bids per week and Gixen is the only way to go. It does not load any software on my computer or mobile, it is all done via their website, my ebay credentials are secure and i have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it.
I've been using gixen as long as I can remember. I can't count how many auctions it has allowed me to win, probably close to 100 over the years. Set it and forget it. It also saves me money because I put my top amount and don't get caught up in the last minute tendencies to overpay.
I would recommend Gixen snipe service, because I have found it to be reliable and easy to use.
Gixen does not require eBay login details to place a bid.
Although Gixen is free, I have paid the subscription, which is very modest, because it provides unlimited snipes and includes a backup server, should the main server be off line.
I have been using Gixen in the last years and it is a fantastic service. After many years of (successful) free bid sniping I decided to donate for the service (even if I don't use it anymore). Try and you won't regret it!;-)
I have been using Gixen for over 10 years and on numerous computers. It has always been so reliable! It has totally eliminated the job of watching a bid on ebay of an item I wish to bid. You will be very happy with this auction sniping service! I have been! I have had no problems with any malware or any other computer issues.
Gixen has been my go to solution for hotly contested ebay items where I want to make sure I win the bid. The website is easy to use and works every time (unless I end up bidding too low). The mobile app works just the same as the website. The free service is perfect, and I even ended up subscribing to the mirror service just because I wanted to support the team that built it. I recommend Gixen anytime somebody brings up ebay.
I have been using Gixen.com for about a year. I used to use eSnipe. Gixen.com works great for me. I buy about 50-100 items per month, and sometimes many more. I have only seen 1 bid missed (I paid for the mirror site). Its CHEAP, it WORKS, and its a web site. ESnipe is good also, just very expensive for me. Gixen is the answer to your sniping needs, and you need to snipe to win.
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.
