Gixen has executed my snipes exactly as requested for every item, with excellent results. I have confidence in their main and backup servers, and they have come through for me every time, on time. Gixen is much more reliable than any other service I've used over the last 15 years.
I use Gixen for eBay auction sniping.
It works quite reliably for that purpose. The basic service is free, and you can subscribe for very low annual fee to their mirror service (increased reliability via redundancy). I've won many auctions using Gixen, and when I haven't, it's had nothing to do with them...
Simple, versatile and very powerful.
The free version allows 100% of the basic functionality. You can specify that your bid is made just in the last 3-4-6 seconds.
In addition, for a small amount of registration, you can access sophisticated group control tools and security servers.
I use it for years, it avoids me having to be aware of bids that end at dawn. Highly recommended.
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've been using Gixen for roughly 5-6 years as (initially) a free user, and more recently paying $11 for the 2 year subscription that comes with the backup server, and premium options (like picking when to snipe). It has rock-solid reliability. I use it every time I bid on eBay, and it has never failed me.
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.
I use Gixen since 2005 I guess, and since then I cleared my issues with eBay auctions bidding. I won much more items than before, at a lower price, as the system works fine, and safely. They worked so fine that now they made a nice agreement with eBay to make very easy to place bids by Gixen. The unique feature to have a mirror server is very useful and sometimes really saved my bids.
I have used Gixen to purchase Ebay auction items for more than 5 years. It is comforting to know that my bids will always be considered whether I am there watching them as they occur, out to dinner with friends or sleeping during those midnight auctions. I don't understand how Mario provides this valuable service for so little money.
I've been using Gixen for years, literally thousands of bids placed and never an issue. Mario is always at hand to offer advice. I subscribe to the mirror service, even though the standard system works fine. The latest interface with Ebay makes entering snipes even easier than before.
Excellent effective tool, unmatched support at a very affordable price
I have been using it for years without problems, it gives me confidence not to worry about changes not considered, new versions follow the course of ebay
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.
Gixen has a rating of 4 stars from 507 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Gixen most frequently mention many years, mirror service and ebay auctions. Gixen ranks 6th among Auction sites.
