I've been using Gixen for years and have not had a single instance where the service fell short. Setting up a snipe in Gixen is as easy as it gets. Highly recommend!
Never had any problems in three years of use. Made me savings for sure and saved me getting silly in the last seconds of a followed auction. Would recommend it without hesitation.
I have been using Gixen to snipe on eBay for several years now and have been almost 99% successful with all my bids. As a paid subscriber I get a multitude of options that the free service does not get. I find the sniping from 2 different locations a great and unique service that doubles my chances of a successful snipe. The fact that I can also set my snipe time and set an unlimited amount of free snipes basically allows me to set the app to auto-cruise mode!. No annoying ads (although these do help the site to maintain itself!) distract me from watching "live" over my snipes. I loved the introduction of the desktop software. This meant I didnt even have to have a browser opened to set my snipes. Really useful! Overall you get so much more than other sniping services such as a community forum for any questions you might have and thanks to the mirror service included as a subscriber as I have proven for myself, a higher success rate of winning snipes!. I cannot see myself ever changing from Gixen back to another snipe service as it is so easy to set-up and start sniping... a nice clear layout with the option to group snipes and the SSL provides me with confidence that I am being protected at all times. A massive thumbs up and 5 stars from me! Keep up the great work Gixen Team!. Thank you.
I've been using GIXEN for many years now, before I used other snipping services which were fine but all had limitations, I must admit GIXEN is not free now as it used to be(unless you want limited snipes) but for just six bucks a year you get unlimited snipes as well as your snipes entered by a mirror server so there is almost no chance of your snipe not being entered. Try GIXEN you will be well pleased you did. Richard
Top shelf sniping service. In several years I have never missed a snipe.The mirror service makes it foolproof at a very reasonable price of about 50 cents a month. Join now!
I have been sniping for about 15 years now. I've tried bidnip, JBidwatcher, and another software sniper that I can't recall the name of.
For a few years now I've stuck with gixen and it is by far the best and easiest snipe solution I have used to date. I would recommend the Firefox add-on (Autosnipe).
One feature I really like is "Multi-win group bidding" which is where multiple snipes of the same type of item can be categorized so that once the specified number of wins is hit, the other snipes are canceled. Example: Bid on 10 widgets with a multi-win "Items to win before canceling" set to 2.4 bids are placed and the 1st and 4th win. The other 6 bids will not be placed.
Another feature I like is that there is a mirror server, so failure is rare. I have never had a snipe misfire yet.
I have to say that I highly recommend Gixen.
EBay bidding wars suck. Given is a great way to mitigate this problem. It has always been reliable. Easy to use. No software to install. Well worth the $6 a year.
Gixen snipes ebay for an extremely nominal fee each year, NOT each snipe, as was my previous experience. Gixen nails 'em, no apologies. Very satisfied.
I've used and found Gixen to be just fantastic for many years. Whilst it does at times remove the game od eBay - it makes what you want easier to obtain I reckon. Just do it!
I have been using Gixen. Com, (Mario's Sniper service) for several years now and in ALL that time I only had one auction that did not complete and that turned out to be EBAY'S fault (their website was down); even then Mario reached out to me alerting me to the status of my bid. I CHALLENGE anyone to find a MORE reliable service with BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE (you contact Mario, he will answer quickly amd honestly-) at the price it sells for... I have been a customer for several years, I have tried several sniper services... NONE WERE FOUND BETTER! I will stay at Gixen, give it a shot and you will also! GREAT SITE... THANKS, MARIO; FOR WHAT YOU DO!
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.
