I loved this site so much I offered to finance the owner offering coupons to the users to encourage more to sign up.
I've never had a snipe fail. There are times I go "I can't believe someone didn't bid me up after that". The interface is simple, not flashy, and just plain works. The chrome plugin makes it easy to add snipes while browsing items on Ebay. I've been used this for YEARS and it has never let me down.
I have used gixen for over nine months and I've been very happy with everything it does. I've won many auctions that I probably never would've won. I like being able to input my maximum bid and know it's all taken care of. I did buy the annual subscription.
I read a number of articles about Gixen and a few competitors before trying out a bidding service. I am beyond excited I went with Gixen. I pay to have a subscription, which is an extremely reasonable price given what you gain. Gixen is dependent, has saved me money (more than paid for itself) and I've won my actions. Highly recommend this company!
I have been using Gixen for more than 10 years to win auctions. It makes bidding convenient and saves money by preventing another bidder from continuing to ratchet up the price. It also has more advanced features for pooling bids so you only win one item within a group. It is simple to use and reliable.
This is the only way to go. I've used other bidding tools and they are no where near as reliable and effective as Gixen. The site platform developers are responsive to the client needs and do all they can to deliver a top-tier product. I encourage you, if you wish to continue using this service after trying it out, to ante up the few dollars that it will cost you to be a full member. You'll be surprised how fast you get back that small investment in terms of time and money savings!
Gixen is excellent. I does everything except decide how much you are willing to pay for something. Once you have made that decision and entered it into Gixen, close eBay and relax. Of those auctions in which I was not grossly outbid, Gixen has won me about 80%. I have gotten some really good deals. I would highly recommend it for anyone who bids on eBay auctions regularly.
I've been using Gixen for some four years, after changing from another sniping service. They have successfully bid for me every time (although I've not won when my bids were too small!) but it saves me having to remember and then sit there waiting to bid.
I don't recommend many things but this is a service I happily put my name to.
I've used Gixen for many years now. It's a great way to eBay, participate in auctions but be able to change your mind even near the end of the auction.
Over the years I have experienced zero issues! It's always worked flawless for me. It has a very basic web interface with no distractions, the precise functionality that I would not want to be without!
I have been using Gixen for years now and it has never let me down. I use it exclusively for all my eBay purchases since moving from a competitor. Gixen is fairly priced, reliable and highly recommended.
I am a music memorabilia collector who with Gixen has used ebay to buy nearly a thousand items so far. I have never lost a bid due to Gixen and in fact have used Gixen on all my bids and won every one where I was high bidder. I can't say enough about this sniping service that costs next to nothing and has never failed me. Mario the host has provided and excellent service and his communications have been respectful and professional clearly aimed at maintaining a top notch service. As long as I bid on Ebay, I will use Gixen. Mike B, Toronto
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.
