I've been a Gixen user since I started using eBay back in 2006, or not much later. I was so frustrated, losing auction after auction. Gixen made it possible to get items I wanted, and at a great price. Gixen is the best idea ever.
Wonderful software, and a wonderful developer. Frequent and clear communication and attention to detail and feature requests. As an added bonus, the license pricing is a true bargain. I have had 4+ years of very positive experience with Gixen. Highly recommended.
If you place bids often in Ebay auctions, it will be worth your while to place them with the proxy web site, Gixen. Read how it works on the Gixen's web site itself, use it truly free as long as you wish, then opt out of pay about $6 a year for the extra goodies.
Incredibly helpful in placing bids and obtaining the best pricing. Since the bid is entered in the last few seconds others cannot work against it. It frees my time because the automatic entry means I do not need to be watching for the auction end. Gixen has never failed to enter my bid as directed!
Gixen reduces the stress of bidding on eBay. Gixen is an excellent eBay snipe site. Gixen is good because of its simple, clear interface. Gixen has good Help Instructions, for example I had to renew the connection between eBay and Gixen (every 18 months), the help instructions quickly led me. I used the free service for a year, and chose to subscribe at $12/year; subscription avoids advertisements, I have subscribed for 4-years. Also, I like the Group Bid feature; this allows chronological bids on a product until I Win at my price.
I signed up to Gixen around three years ago. I was initially looking for a reliable, free sniping service. I use eBay a lot and during the year or so I used the free service only one of my many snipes failed. Impressed by the quality of service I then decided to sign up for a paid subscription, (Gixen mirror which costs all of $6 a year). That was a couple of years ago and since then I have never had a snipe fail.
Gixen is easy to use, reliable and trustworthy with excellent notifications and support. It is glitch free, dirt cheap and bottom line has saved me hundreds of pounds (I live in the UK). It also, in this age of internet behemoths appears to be a one man operation run by a bloke called Mario. I like that about it too. Thanks Mario, great service!
The Gixen auction program is an awesome product. I regularly use it to get good deals on auction items. I particularly like the grouping function where I can place multiple auction items from different sellers in a group and Gixen will bid until I get one of those items. It then stops bidding on the others. This allows me to set up a snipe for several things in an overnight setting but stops bidding once I win one of them.
I have used the Gixen software for years and win many of my auctions with substantial savings the typical bidding method.
I have been using GIXEN for several years no and have had no problems with them. This is by far the cheapest and best way to snipe on eBay. You can set your bids to go in with 3 seconds to go so no one can outbid you at the end. At $6 per year it is much less than my previous sniping service and just as reliable.
I maybe buy 20 to 50 items per year on eBay, but as a 4 year Gixen user, I can attest to its value. I usually win at least 1 in 3 auctions, targeting lower priced items (under $100). For less than $7, it is a super value.
I've used and been a subscriber of Gixen for years. Always keeping pace with changes and first rate user communication when issues and changes arise. Gixen takes the hard work out of buying on eBay and allows you to save considerable money. I'd pay more for this service.
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.
