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 like it
January 5, 2020

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.

Best Auction Friend
January 5, 2020

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.

Superb bidding tool
January 6, 2020

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.

Gixen - great service
January 6, 2020

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.

Great way to eBay
January 6, 2020

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!

Gixen is Great!
January 6, 2020

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.

Gixen works flawlessly
January 5, 2020

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

Gixen - The best!
January 6, 2020

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 collect memorabilia and without Gixen's excellent sniping tool, my collection would be less than half it is. It has never let me down and is the best value for money tool you will ever need.
I sign up for two years at a time.
Highly recommended.

Have been with this ingenuous software for around three years now and never looked back thinking to myself this is a total waste of dosh, quite the opposite because its been left to get on with the bid on my behalf and mostly came up trumps for me. And if I still was out bid well their welcome to It.
Great piece of kit Thanks Mario

This is great and inexpensive software that does your eBay bidding for you. Just set and forget. I'm notified if outbid, and at auction end.

Thanks, Mario!

Gixen is by far the best auction sniper you can use. I have been using Gixen for several years now. I previously tried several auction snipers that were ok, but when I tried Gixen, there was no comparison. The service is free and flawless. For a very low cost ( I think about $6.00 annually) you can add a second mirror snipe so that if there are any network glitches your bid is virtually guaranteed. If you are unsure, please try Gixen just once and I am sure you will find it very user friendly, secure and reliable.

I was using Gixen long before there was a pay option. The free service is still available and would probably suit my purposes, but I'm a paid customer because I appreciate the work that has been put into the site. It is simple and effective and when there are upgrades they are genuine upgrades and not just 'moving the furniture around' to look like something is being done. And by keeping me from getting "auction fever" is has probably saved me more than I've paid.

Brilliant!
January 6, 2020

Gixen has served me well and never failed. Helps me to avoid bidding wars, pushing up the price. The interface may not be particularly pretty or swish modern but it just works infallibly. The mirror service costs such a tiny amount annually that it would be crazy not to use it.
Go for Gixen - you will be glad you did. I certainly am.

Excellent service
January 6, 2020

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.

For a Yorkshireman, Gixen is perfect. A free service which does exactly what it says. I have never been let down by them and they have saved me hundreds of pounds over the many years I have used the service to place bids on Ebay. Gixen places your bid during the closing moments of the auction so you don't get caught up in a bidding race. You do not need to be on-line when the bid is placed. You can decide on your bidding limit at any time up to a few minutes before the auction closes.
I started using Gixen as a free service (Gixen places the bid from one of its servers) and it never let me down. Although I didn't need to, I decided to buy a subscription to their mirror service (bid also placed from a second server - belt & braces) more as a thank you than as a need. It cost just $6 per year (about £5).

I have bee using gixen for many years now. I think I started around 2013, maybe even earlier. I personally absolutely dislike flashy or over engineered products. I require a service that imports my watchlist from eBay and/or allows manual adding of items. The feature I rely on the most is grouping. My mode of operation is simple: I know what type of item I want and what I am willing to pay at the most. With that in mind I scour eBay and add a whole bunch of auctions that fit the bill and group them together in gixen. Now once I win one of this auctions the other grouped auctions get "cancelled", meaning gixen never bids on them. That method is super simple and has never failed me. There is a free mode but I actually pay for this service in order to support the developer as he seems not be backed by a big company. He is the programmer next door. That is rare and I like it.
