I used Gixen for the first time this week for an ebay auction I really wanted to win. Naturally, I was worried that it might not work and cost me the auction, but just the opposite. The bid came right... See more

Worthless most of the time. Pointless unless you just want to pay a lot for an auction anyway, as it never actually beats out other 'max' bidders. So ultimately, you're better off planning to pay a lo... See more

I can't fault Given for last second bidding (snipping) on eBay. It's saved me money over the years. The free offering is perfectly good, but I'm happy to support this service my paying for the mirror... See more

Reliable, accessible, safe, and cheap

I started using desktop-based sniping tools several years ago, in order to place the maximum bid I wanted without having time for afterthoughts and going above self-imposed limits. The issue I encountered is that my machine had to be on, not asleep, and connected to Internet.
The major concern I had with on-line sniping tools is that I would give my eBay password to someone else and I had to blindly trust them and trust that they would be well protected against hacking.
With Gixen I have a threefold piece of mind: 1) it does no longer handle my eBay password, 2) it provides me redundancy in placing my bid, by using also the backup server at a different location (so far, in several years, it hasn't missed any of my bids), and 3) I can set up a snipe from everywhere and I don't need to be sitting at my computer that runs the sniping program.
I never had the need to deal with the customer service, since Gixen has been rather reliable for me. Looking at the bulletin board I see that they are very proactive in dealing with all issues and glitches.
the service, on my opinion, is fairly cheap and well worth.

Gixen is simple and easy, and saves me time and money

I used the free Gixen for a while, and was so impressed by how well I did buying on Ebay that I decided a few years ago to subscribe; for me it is well worth more than every penny. I work out the "sweet point" between where if I had paid more and won I would feel ripped off and if I had bid less and lost I wish I had bid more, I put in my Gixen and get on with the rest of my life. I find it particularly useful that I can group my potential bids so that if I want something that is on several auctions, I can Gixen all of them knowing that if I win one auction the subsequent bids will not be placed. Also that I can change my mind and simply withdraw my Gixen right up until a few seconds before the auction end.

Gixen has never let me down

Gixen has never let me down! I have been using this service personally and through my daughter's account for several years now. It is very easy to use and so reliable. The communication provided is excellent, also. I highly recommend!

Long time user; money well spent.

I've been using gixen since ... well, almost as long as sniping has been a thing.

I go through phases with ebay ... some years, I buy, others I ignore. The money I've saved has paid for the (AU$6/yr in 2007, now $AU8/yr in 2020?) gixen mirror service a hundred times over, easy. Set and forget; It's like Christmas when I win an auction I've forgotten I'd entered. I can set a bid for my budget, away from the heat of arbitrary last minute angst.

The easiest annual expense I make. I'd support gixen just because the service is so low-maintenance, and has been very reliable for me.

Really great service

Really great service, been using it for over 7 years and have had no problems but lots of "wins".

I use it for ALL my eBay bidding, other than Buy It Now.

Reliable and easy to use

I started using Gixen 7 years ago. I only use it a few times a year, but when I do it is reliable and easy to use. The paid service gives me access to a backup server which means extra peace of mind that my bid will come in. I have had some great deals because of Gixen and at the same time Gixen has enabled me to not be pulled into a bidding war. I highly recommend it, even if you're only doing a few bids a year!

Reliable Bidding Tool

I've been using Gixen for the last couple of years and I'm really pleased with it. Very easy to use, extremely reliable and well maintained. There is no software to install. I've paid the very modest annual contribution as a token of my appreciation for the money that I was saving by using Gixen. Thank you and well done Gixen :-)

Been using Gixen for a few years now

Been using Gixen for a few years now - on two eBay sites.
Only auctions lost were by my own underbidding.Wouldn't even consider using any other snipe. Obviously if you read this far you would guess that I highly recommend Gixen. Thanks :)
