Without a doubt Gixen is the best sniping site that I've used - I hardly ever lose an auction. It's really cheap - or free - and is automatically linked to Ebay.
Simple and reliable. Cost effective $6/year I think. I've been using it for several years now without problems. It levels the playing field bidding, everyone gets one shot at the same time.
This the greatest tool for buying on ebay it is great value for the small amount asked each year or two years.
Mario (Gixen operator). Is easy to contact & communicate over any problem you may have
Gixen is the best sniping service out three. I could not run my small business without Gixen helping me with my bids. They are always up and running - 24/7.
I have been a member of Gixen for about 15 years. Never a failure. Join for the Best. It's not expensive. You'll make it back with your first bid.
I've been using Gixen for several years to automate my eBay auction purchases. Sniping at the last moment will often win the auction, if your bid is reasonable, without creating a bidding war as eBay's proxy bidding system often does. The result has been a lot of saved money and time, making the paltry $6 per year charge for the optional double server bidding (called Mirror) well worth it. And, Gixen is FREE if you choose to stay with the standard single server bidding feature.
I have experienced NONE of the alleged problems with Gixen. No password issues. No Paypal funds issues. Every time I use the Gixen service things go without a hitch. I've used the service exclusively with my desktop PC. I cannot speak to the ease of use of Gixen's mobile Android app (free to Mirror subscribers), though I have no reason to suspect it would be any less effective.
Will Gixen win every auction for you? Of course not. A lot depends on the popularity of the item(s) being auctioned, which makes for more sniping & proxy bidding competition, and being sure not to bid some ridiculously low amount that is almost guaranteed to lose. That being said, I've won several auctions at very low prices, but with the knowledge that my bids could easily have been too low to win.
Based on my several years of membership, I highly recommend Gixen as a safe and low-cost way to save BIG on eBay auctions!
In the world of auctions this is a great tool. You just set your bid and Gixen does all the work. You'll receive info if you've been outbid and this allows you to make adjustments. Glad I found it!
I had been using a paid auction sniper service for years and was very happy with it until I found Gixen would do the same thing for free. All the bids I've placed have been carried out perfectly.
Just a note to say that i've been using Gixen for over 2 years to bid on ebay,
Never missed a bid and always spot on, best to have the mirror service for $6,
Worth every penny, go to bed knowing that my snipes will always go through,
Not that i win everytime of course, kent1944
Truly fire and forget service, does not get me into a bidding war and most always I am the winner if I am serious about buying the item. Been using it for years with great success... :)
