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

I've been using Gixen for years

I've used both the free and paid versions of Gixen and have never had it fail me. The ability to set and forget snipe is wonderful. It totally eliminated the chance of me getting caught up in the bidding and paying more than an item is worth.

Brilliant way to win on ebay

Brilliant way to win on ebay without having to be at your computer as the auction ends or having to leave your computer running with your fingers crossed that it won't update at the critical time!
It also enables you to set a price and go for a walk - don't get carried away and bid more than new price for used items again ;-)

Excellent service

Excellent service. I use Gixen for all my (many!) eBay bids, and it has never failed to do the job. Easy to use, reliable. I buy the yearly service (inexpensive) to help defray operating costs.

A great site

A great site. Gets the job done in a seamless way and it's free. I like it so much I paid their voluntary membership just as a thank you. Much better than many of the for-profit sniping services. Try them.

TOP !!

After my old auction sniper closed down because of too many restrictions with eBay, a friend recommended GIXEN. I joined and am more than happy! Several auctions won recently!

Keep on going!!

Tried a few, Gixen's the best.

Been using Gixen for years, have found it to be 100% reliable, of all the hundreds of times I've used it I've never had a bid fail. The mirror function is brilliant, the cost is very low.

Lucky to have found Gixen

I was devastated when Quick Snipe disappeared, it was a great sniper but a little expensive. I was lucky to fine Gixen as it has been even better. It has never missed a bid.

Amazing sniping tool, but the app could be better

I've been using Gixen for years, both its free service and its paid subscription. It is an awesome tool that has won me countless auctions. The android app is a bit clunky and sometimes lags or freezes up. It still works but I wish it were more polished.
For this reason I give Gixen 4-stars Instead of 5.

Reply from Gixen

It's a fair criticism, I am aware of issues with the Android app. An important stability update was released recently, and I will continue to work on improving it.

I've used gixen for almost a decade

I've used gixen for almost a decade. It's an invaluable tool when you want to buy an auction item from eBay. Ask yourself honestly how much you'd be reluctantly willing to pay and put the figure in and forget about it. The best thing is it is run by a single person Mario who puts love into it and provides it for free, asking you to donate if you like it. It's better than the paying alternatives.

Easily the best sniping service I have ever used!

I have been using Gixen to snipe on eBay for several years now and have been almost 99% successful with all my bids. As a paid subscriber I get a multitude of options that the free service does not get. I find the sniping from 2 different locations a great and unique service that doubles my chances of a successful snipe. The fact that I can also set my snipe time and set an unlimited amount of free snipes basically allows me to set the app to auto-cruise mode!. No annoying ads (although these do help the site to maintain itself!) distract me from watching "live" over my snipes. I loved the introduction of the desktop software. This meant I didnt even have to have a browser opened to set my snipes. Really useful!! Overall you get so much more than other sniping services such as a community forum for any questions you might have and thanks to the mirror service included as a subscriber as I have proven for myself,a higher success rate of winning snipes!. I cannot see myself ever changing from Gixen back to another snipe service as it is so easy to set-up and start sniping...a nice clear layout with the option to group snipes and the SSL provides me with confidence that I am being protected at all times. A massive thumbs up and 5 stars from me! Keep up the great work Gixen Team!. Thank you.

best sniper service

Gixen offers a low price, is consistently online, and has never given me issues in the time that I've used it. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sniper service.

Works great

Works great! Very reliable! And it's free unless you want to use the mirror service and the cost for that is very reasonable.

I love using Gixen for my ebay…

I love using Gixen for my ebay purchases. It allows me the peace of mind that my bid will be submitted and I don't have to constantly watch an item. It is a free service, but the fee helps support the website/updates. It's so little, less than a two cups of coffee!
