Gixen

Gixen is a no-frills eBay sniping service that is free, doesn't require installing any software, and most importantly works very well. If you are sniping on eBay, you should be using Gixen.

I started using Gixen 2 years ago after the eBay sniping software I used before (BayGenie) quit working. BayGenie was good back when it worked and they updated it. When I found Gixen, it seemed almost too good to be true with no per-snipe fees and being free, but it's true!

The VERY inexpensive paid subscription upgrade is totally worth it in my opinion. The key benefit I get from the paid annual subscription is peace of mind, adding a fault-tolerant mirror as a backup. The uninformed might think this isn't necessary, but on the Internet and with cloud and hosting services there can be outages that are entirely out of Gixen's control. The small fee helps guarantee that something like that won't happen when YOUR snipe is on the line.

I and several others I know have been using the Gixen eBay auction bidding service for years and have never had any problems with it, especially problems that could even remotely be attributed to security breaches or malware. Yes, it is a small business but that doesn't mean the owner doesn't know what he is doing or that he is careless with his or his client's security. I have found Gixen simple to use, inexpensive as a service, and timely with my eBay auction purchases, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in winning eBay auctions with minimal effort or expense.

I have been using Gixen for bidding on all my eBay auctions for nearly a year. I find it very easy and convenient to use because it links directly to my eBay user name and the eBay item number. I simply log on to the Gixen site and use the Windows "Cut-and-Paste" operation for entering the eBay item number into the entry form. I then enter my maximum bid and select the "offset time" for the auction. I use these steps for data entry for all the auctions of interest before logoff from the Gixen site. I am some outbid but using Gixen helps me avoid "Bidding wars" and paying too much to win an auction sale.

Over 5 years ago I switched to Gixen to snipe ebay auctions because of missed bids, high cost and terrible service with BidNip. During those 5 years with hundreds and hundreds of bids Gixen has never missed a bid. I started out with the free version but because of how successful they were I wanted to support their business and signed up for the inexpensive Mirro service. They are closely aligned with ebay and great at communicating any impending changes to the process. I couldn't be more happy with their performance and have never had any kind of computer issues using it on my Windows desktop computer. David M.

I have been an eBay user for well over 10 years: started back in the day when it was almost all auctions, not as many fixed prices and identical items as you get now. I collect ceramics & glass, mostly European, and found auctions in US, UK or Europe finished at very late hours for me, I live in Australia.
When I tried Gixen, I liked it straight away. I used the free version for a couple of years, then decide to purchase Mirror even though I had never had an issue with the free service, but I like to encourage good service and am happy to pay a reasonable sum for what I get.
I use it less now that eBay has fewer auctions, but I am sure I am still getting a benefit for my subscription.

I am a Long-Time user of ebay, (since 2006)., with over 1600 transactions recorded.
More than 70% of those transactions are purchases, and more than 70% of those purchases were made using Gixen to win auctions.
I have used Gixen for more than a decade and have never, I repeat, never been let down or had any reason whatever to complain about any aspect of the service.
I congratulate Mario for his excellent product, and admire him for his dedication to that product.
Absolute minimal cost for a totally reliable service that has saved me thousands over the years. Most auctions I win with Gixen are won on average at 40% less than retail price for the item, and sometimes more than that.
I wouldn't be without it.
Good onya Mario!.
