Works like a charm
January 5, 2020

I've used Gixen a few times. Often enough for me to pay for a subscription. It's pretty cheap but you get even faster snipes with a subscription. It's certainly helped me get some bargains, and is the best sniping site there is in my humble opinion. You will get the annual subscription back with your first snipe.

A Great Way to Bid!
January 5, 2020

I recently signed up for the FREE version of Gixen, after trying it out for just a week, decided to jump right in and purchase the MIRROR version. Since then, Gixen has been sniping with great success for me. The best part for me is putting my bids into Gixen instead of the ebay listings which can draw unwanted attention to those items. For the most part, I either have won auctions at a way better price than I hoped for, or sadly lose them to another bidder that just wants an item at a higher price than I would pay. Also by having it run in the background, it removes the chance that I just forget about items that I am watching. To date, have about 80 or 90 wins. Highly recommended!

Excellent Service!
January 7, 2020

I've been using Gixen for years and it's by far the best. After a time using it for free I signed up for the paid version not only to support Mario but also to be able to use the mirror. It has never let me down. In response to Fred F.'s comment about malicious adware, it is highly unlikely it was caused by Gixen.

Gixen review
January 6, 2020

I had been using Powersnipe for years until it starting failing to place bids. I looked for a free alternative and found Gixen. It works perfectly for my needs. So well, in fact, that I took out their paid-for mirror subscription for no other reason than a thank you for creating a solid system which works.

I've used Gixen for several years and love its service! Not only can I set a bid in advance and forget about it, but I can change my mind - and bid - several times, or even eliminate it completely. At first I used it for free which you can do, but its service is so wonderful I'm now a happily paying customer - and it's worth every penny. And the pennies are very few!

Great to use!
January 5, 2020

I was using an alternative sniping site for a few years, and lost some important items due to software failures.
Since I swapped to Gixen, I have not had any issues, and found the site very easy and user friendly. I subscribe to the mirror service, and recommend this service whole-heartedly. Thoroughly recommended service!

I have used Gixen for many years. It allows me to bid last moment and keep the competition unaware of my interest in an item until last minute. Unlike the built in bid system I do not keep raising the bid for days prior to end of auction. I snipe in at the last moment and more often than not, win the item. I use the mirror service and I have not experienced any failed bids. It's worth it if you want to win.

No more staying up all night to bid on an eBay item. Just set your top bid and it'll only bid above last bid (rarely using top bid). I've gotten so many more deals without having to watch the countdown for last minute bids.

I've lost count of the number of auctions I've won over the years of using this site, it probably runs into thousands. You can set your price and forget about it (which I frequently do) and often get massive bargains. The interface has no frills and is so simple you simply can't go wrong. A1.

I find buying rare items on ebay to be nerve wracking. I recently found an item I have sought for 20 years, that has been out of production longer than that. I was prepared to pay top dollar, but definitely wanted to snipe so as to not drive up the price unnecessarily. I find Gixen easy to use and reliable, it takes the stress out of bidding for hard to find items.

I have been using Gixen to snipe on Ebay for years, it has never let me down. Never, not once.
Highly recommend.
Pay the small fee for the software and support the developer who created it. It's nice to be nice.

Small but powerful
January 6, 2020

Guys at Gixen put a lot of effort and attention maintaining their service at highest possible quality. I like their business model. After using free version for a while, i felt like they really deserve by subscription plan. Really appriciate their efforts and satisfied with the service. Try it yourself and if you like it, don't be shy to subscribe.

Great sniping service!
January 5, 2020

I switched to Gixen for eBay sniping about a year ago and love it! It has never failed to bid for me, and has saved me a ton of money. The service is free, with an option to add backup mirror bidding for a low yearly charge. I purchased the mirror service primarily to support the site, but even without it I never had an issue.

I have been using ebay for many years and often lost bids in the closing stages, often when i was not near my computer. I found out about sniping and tried a few different options, and settled on GIXEN as the most reliable. I love that i can enter automatic bids that will bid when I cannot, that I can group items enabling me to only win one of many, and that i can cancel bids if i later change my mind. Gixen has rarely let me down ( usually only when ebay change the rules and Mario has to tweek Gixen to accommodate the ebay changes). I typically place dozens of ebay bids per week and Gixen is the only way to go. It does not load any software on my computer or mobile, it is all done via their website, my ebay credentials are secure and i have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it.

Long term reliability
January 5, 2020

I've been using gixen as long as I can remember. I can't count how many auctions it has allowed me to win, probably close to 100 over the years. Set it and forget it. It also saves me money because I put my top amount and don't get caught up in the last minute tendencies to overpay.

Excellent service
January 11, 2020

I would recommend Gixen snipe service, because I have found it to be reliable and easy to use.
Gixen does not require eBay login details to place a bid.
Although Gixen is free, I have paid the subscription, which is very modest, because it provides unlimited snipes and includes a backup server, should the main server be off line.

I have been using Gixen in the last years and it is a fantastic service. After many years of (successful) free bid sniping I decided to donate for the service (even if I don't use it anymore). Try and you won't regret it!;-)

GIXEN IS GREAT!
January 6, 2020

I have been using Gixen for over 10 years and on numerous computers. It has always been so reliable! It has totally eliminated the job of watching a bid on ebay of an item I wish to bid. You will be very happy with this auction sniping service! I have been! I have had no problems with any malware or any other computer issues.

Gixen has been my go to solution for hotly contested ebay items where I want to make sure I win the bid. The website is easy to use and works every time (unless I end up bidding too low). The mobile app works just the same as the website. The free service is perfect, and I even ended up subscribing to the mirror service just because I wanted to support the team that built it. I recommend Gixen anytime somebody brings up ebay.

Gixen works great
January 5, 2020

I have been using Gixen.com for about a year. I used to use eSnipe. Gixen.com works great for me. I buy about 50-100 items per month, and sometimes many more. I have only seen 1 bid missed (I paid for the mirror site). Its CHEAP, it WORKS, and its a web site. ESnipe is good also, just very expensive for me. Gixen is the answer to your sniping needs, and you need to snipe to win.
