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've collected autographs for a long time. I used Biddingscheduler for a long time and something happened that shut them down. I searched and found a few that interested me but decided on Gixen. It was an easy setup and the first couple of bit won for me. I sent $6.00 and have won 5-6 autographs at a single time. I was outbid a few times but as far as Gixen goes they are spot on. Bidding again is painless and has paid off. Personally I'm very satisfied.
Simple to use, reliable, and effective. And it costs nothing! There is an upgraded paid-for service, too - it cost six whole US dollars per year.
Honestly, if you use eBay you should use Gixen - I have been using it for many years, and I happily pay the $6 per year for the enhanced service. Simple, straighforward, effective - It does exactly what it says on the tin.
Excellent free sniping service with very inexpensive and also excellent mirror backup service. It is a service that I have used over many years and on many occasions and I have never encountered any problems.
I've been using Gixen for at least 5 years and it is an excellent tool, It works perfectly and is an inexpensive way to snipe auctions by setting up your auction and let Gixen do the work. Works great for me and I highly recommend it!
Thanks Mario! Tjs45
I have always received excellent service from Gixen. For a very small amount of money you get assurance your bids are in a split second. You make a decesion of what your going to pay and you don' t get caught up in the bidding frenzy and over pay because you just have to have it. Gixen has been super for me.
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've been using the Gixen website for eBay Auction sniping for years now and I happily pay the 6 per year for it. It is not the most beautiful user interface but it certainly gets the job done. And it gets the job done much cheaper than any of the competitors that I am aware of.
I was recomended to join Gixen years ago by a friend. It was the best thing I did to get what I wanted with minimum effort. I just put my max bid in and leave the rest to Gixen. Its easy to use and saves you the time of bidding yourself.
I have used Gixen for many years. It is extremely affordable and effective. I can just set it and forget it. With the multiple mirror sites, I have confidence (and history) that IF I lose the bid, it was only because someone bid higher - not because somebody got there first. It is the only sniping program I use. I only wish I could use it on other auction sites.
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.
