“Ideal for automating bids on eBay.”

Josean F.
1/6/20

Simple, versatile and very powerful. The free version allows 100% of the basic functionality. You can specify that your bid is made just in the last 3-4-6 seconds. In addition, for a small amount of registration, you can access sophisticated group control tools and security servers. I use it for years, it avoids me having to be aware of bids that end at dawn. Highly recommended.

“Worked for a day or so”

Worked just fine for one snipe before it would not take me back to my account, but directing to a page about mirror service. Not free. Not even close. Sitejabber suggests you can upload media, but that doesn't include animated gifs or video clips. So I can only post the screens I see on Gixens site.

Have used Gixen for many years with pretty much no problems and very good communications from them when required.

We use the mirror subscription which costs about $6 per year. Gixen says we use the service at our own risk, and that the software could fail. We have never noticed a failure in over 10 years of use. We have been outbid plenty of times, but that is part of the game. Well worth the cost.

We buy the mirror subscription which is priced very reasonably and it has worked every time as advertised. I recommend this program to anyone who is using ebay to buy even once in a while.

I've been using Gixen for 3 years and have found it totally reliable. Well worth the modest subscription fee.

I use Gixen since 2005 I guess, and since then I cleared my issues with eBay auctions bidding. I won much more items than before, at a lower price, as the system works fine, and safely. They worked so fine that now they made a nice agreement with eBay to make very easy to place bids by Gixen. The unique feature to have a mirror server is very useful and sometimes really saved my bids.

Given works well, more reliable than other sniping tools I've used and at a good price. What's not to like?

Reliable service at a good price. There are enough bidding settings and several countries to choose from.

I have been using Gixen for almost a year. I find it to be a great sniping tool when bidding on ebay. I use it for every bid now. I import the watched items over to Gixen and place my bid. I never place a bid in ebay. My bids go in with 6 seconds to go and I win most of the items that I am bidding on. The cost is very reasonable as well. I will continue to use this service as long as it stays available. Never a problem with Gixen.

Tip for consumers:
It is easy to use and very helpful.

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.

Gixen is the best - simples! I have been using it for years and have NEVER had any issues whatsoever. Log into the website, identify the item, set your bid and go to bed! Saved me £, 000's over the years (CCTV components just sniped saved over £1,000). I subscribe to the mirror service to ensure the service remains. Mario ensures the service works flawlessly and any problems are quickly sorted.

I've tried various sniping sites and this one is the best. Highly recommended. Saves me from watching the clock and often missing it. Attached are a couple of photos showing eBay auctions I have won with Gixen. Just go for it!

I stumbled upon Gixen and used it without cost a few times to win auctions. I've since donated for two years of mirrored service and am elated with the results. I've won about two dozen auctions since.

The first review of Gixen on this site speaks of malware and I have no clue what they are talking about--Gixen is a website and does not install any software.

Great site that I've accessed through desktop, laptop, and smartphone. I'm a believer.

I highly recommend Gixen as an auction service. I've had Auction Sniper in the past but found that I am more successful with Gixen. The cost of the service is well within reason than most of it's competitors and their customer service is right there to assist if you have any questions. Gixen is my auction sniper of choice. I also prefer the way they detail what you are bidding on within the site. Compared to others that I've done business with, I like this one the best

Saves me so much time and so much money. Costs hardly anything for the yearly subscription, and is worth 1000s of times the amount you pay!

Gixen is second to none amongst Sniping services in both quality and value. The owner, Mario - a great guy who I've personally communicated with - is like a modern day Robin Hood in that he could charge much more for his service but instead opts for the "Glory!" God Bless him!
He offers his service for free (1 satellite) and only charges a nominal $6/year for an optional mirror satellite (which insures your bid is logged in the event the transmission to the first satellite is blocked).
I've been more than satisfied for over 10 years and will be a customer for life! Thank you, Mario!

I've been wanting a specific Belleek diamond biscuit jar for a couple of years. A friend alerted me that one was offered on eBay. It was auction only (I always prefer buy it now). Anyway, I signed into Gixen and entered the top amount I was willing to pay. My bid was set at 6 seconds. I won the jar for 2/3 less than my top dollar, and received it well packaged from an excellent seller.

Since I use gixen with a very cheap: 2 year subscription 11 $, I won all bids I wanted. And IT MAKES ME SAVE AT LEAST 1500 $!

I used Gixen for a year or longer. I now use it more of less exclusively when bidding on eBay. Head and shoulders above the other eBay auction snipers that I've used.

4* rather 5" simply because logging in can sometimes take ages; and occasionally doesn't work at all. I'm a UK user and I don't if that has anything to do with it. This is more an annoyance rather than a real problem as once I've set my bid, I don't need to go back in to Gixen unless I want to edit it.

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.
