Gixen

I've bought and sold on ebay for over 20 years, under many user accounts, and I've used a range of sniping services since the early 2000s, as a reseller and a collector who does not want to be waking up at 4 AM to buy something from Japan, or counting on my browser not to seize up in the few seconds when making a bid can win you the item, AND save you hundreds of dollars.

I've never found a sniping service/platform/utility as versatile and reliable as Gixen and I can't IMAGINE one. I think I was one of the earliest users, and I have tried a couple of others new apps since signing on to Gixen, but none is as easy, as cheap or as reliable. It's the best app I've ever used... NO kidding. I wish I was exaggerating, because then this wouldn't seem like such a canned endorsement. I am totally sincere, but I'm also responding to the obviously bogus and hysterical review that preceded mine.

The founder/designer Mario regularly makes updates and reminders, but never the kind of obnoxious, self-serving promotional messages you so often get from all sorts of sites and services. He is the best possible "technocrat," working behind the scenes to ensure that all goes well. I routinely make Ebay bids 2 seconds from close, which foreclose any "reflex" bids from others who may be watching the close of a sale, their fingers hovering on the bid window... and which formerly, when I had, to be safe, to bid even 5 or 6 seconds in advance, happened regularly, and maddeningly... and really added up. The mirror service ensures that my 100s of bids, in the past 4 years, have always gone through. NEVER a problem!

Amazing. Try it--you'll see that you can trust it, and then you'll pass the word like I am!

Thanks, Gixen... and thanks, Super-Mario!

I suffered a Stroke in 2015. It caused some brain damage issues. I have almost no short term memory. Before PC happened, I would now be classified as a mental defective. But I get by. Gixen allows me to list an item for certain and set a price I am willing to pay. I get e mailed when I have long forgotten about an item. The result is shown and I then pop to E bay and Pay. Look it's simple, it has organized me despite the mental problems I have. It removes a lot of stress about last minute bids. You can group items so you only end up with the first one won. All the other grouped bids are cancelled by a successful outcome. I had to rejoin once as my computer crashed and I lost the saved login details. No Problem I just paid for another membership and I was back in business. I do not know how to recover my old |ID. I liked the straightforwardness of a new one. Two days later I was ahead of the game due to savings far exceeding the annual fee. It has never failed me. Wqhich is why I say it is reliable. It'; s so inexpensive it's crazy cheap, yet a truly great friend to persons like myself who try to get by on a pension and have memory issues. If I am focussed on something as I am on this review at the moment, the memory issues are not apparent. However if my cat interrupts me I could forget to finish it. Or even to post it. Less than the price of a Pint in some Cities, and unlike Guiness and the like, It does do you some good, financially speaking.:-) because the items I have bought at significant savings have put a big smile on my face and keep it there. One problem about writing this review is there will be more competition for items and I may not get to win as many auctions at rediculous bargain prices BUT I supopose I have to be Honest and it is just the end of 'The season of 'Good Will To All Men' so here's my Review. I hope you do not read it. I LOVE the advantage being a Gixen User gives me. I suppose that's not too charitable but life's not fair, wise up to it! Take the advantage and run with it for goodness sake.

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!

More than a decade ago I was keen to find a service which could help me with winning ebay auctions in several ways: I wanted to place bids during my sleeping hours, and I wanted to make sure I would not bid higher than my initial self-imposed limit for any particular auction. Gixen allowed me to to exactly this, and without software installation on my computer. You just have to enter the ebay auction number & your max bid and that it. Fire & forget. During recent years there have been many options added (eg for multiple snipes). The service provided is excellent, communication to customers is always very friendly. The 6$ annual subscription rate for the premium service is so well spent, it might pay back with the first auction you win! I personally recommend Gixen highly!

As I'm from Germany, here a few lines in German:
Gixen hilft mir seit mehr als 10 Jahren bei Auktionen wenig zu bezahlen und mein selbstgesetztes Limit für einen bestimmten Artikel nicht zu überschreiten. Es ist extrem einfach zu benutzen, und zahlte sich schon bei der ersten Auktion aus (es ging um einen alten Apple-Computer, den ich dank Gixen für sehr wenig Geld ersteigert habe). Mario als privater Betreiber hatte vor vielen Jahren eine großartige Idee, hat sie für uns alle als Service umgesetzt und verbessert seit vielen Jahren die angebotene Dienstleistung immer weiter. Dass man keine Software installieren muss und nur via Browser auf die Web-Oberfläche zugreift, ist sehr erfreulich und erhöht mein Vertrauen in Gixen. Sehr empfehlenswert!
