Gixen
reviews and complaints

I work at a job where I can use a computer, so I used to bid on eBay auctions manually. It was exciting, but sometimes I got too busy with work and forgot to bid. Or my toddler would turn off my computer right before an auction ended, and it would take a while to turn it back on.

So I thought there must be a service to bid automatically, and I found Gixen. I've been using Gixen for about 4 or 5 years now. I use it on my work computer, my home computer, and my Chromebook. It's just a website, not an app or software. I've never had any problems with it, and I can't remember it ever failing to place my bid. It's saved me thousands of dollars and made it easier to get what I want.

Honestly, I don't want to tell others how great it is because I don't want more competition. But I guess it doesn't matter because I won't be buying as much on eBay anymore. I've already bought most of what I wanted, and now we have to pay sales tax on eBay, which is a bummer.

I've been using Gixen for a few years now to snipe on eBay, and I gotta say, it's been almost 99% successful with all my bids. As a paid subscriber, I get a ton of options that the free service doesn't have. 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 didn't 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, 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.

Gixen is a great eBay sniping tool that I have been using for a few years now. It is a reliable and safe platform that I have never had any issues with. I find it to be quite secure and have never experienced any security problems while using it. The sniping feature is efficient and works really well.

One of the best things about Gixen is that you can use it for free or pay a small annual fee of $6 to access the extra "Mirror" features. These features are really useful and make the sniping experience even better. For example, Gixen Mirror is a multi-server, fault-tolerant sniping service that is unmatched by any other sniping service or software. This means that your snipes are sent twice, from two different hosting locations, making it even more reliable.

Another great feature of Gixen Mirror is that there is no limit on the number of snipes you can make. This is really useful if you are a frequent eBay user and need to make a lot of snipes. Additionally, there are no ads in the logged-in area, which makes the user experience even better.

One of my favorite features of Gixen Mirror is the contingency group bidding. This means that if your first bid fails, all the other bids in the group will be cancelled. This is really useful if you are bidding on multiple items and only want to win one. There is also a new multi-win group bidding feature that allows you to define how many items you want to win in a group.

Gixen Mirror also offers a wider choice of snipe time choices, including 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15 seconds. This is really useful if you need to make a snipe quickly or if you want to wait a little longer before making a bid. Additionally, auction end times are refreshed hourly, as opposed to daily, which means that you can be sure that your snipe is up-to-date.

Finally, there are some small perks that are provided to Mirror users only, such as CSV export/import. This is really useful if you need to keep track of your snipes or if you want to import them into another program.

Overall, I think that the multi-server aspect of Gixen Mirror makes paying the extra $6 well worthwhile. I have never had a snipe fail while using Gixen and I find it to be the best sniper tool that I have found. Additionally, there is no need for extra software on your PC and there is a plugin for Firefox that makes adding snipes even easier. I would definitely recommend Gixen to anyone who is looking for a reliable and efficient eBay sniping tool.

I've been using Gixen for a good few years now to automate my eBay auction purchases. Sniping at the last moment is a great way to win the auction, if your bid is reasonable, without creating a bidding war as eBay's proxy bidding system often does. The result has been a lot of saved money and time, making the paltry $6 per year charge for the optional double server bidding (called Mirror) well worth it. And, Gixen is FREE if you choose to stay with the standard single server bidding feature.

I have experienced NONE of the alleged problems with Gixen. No password issues. No Paypal funds issues. Every time I use the Gixen service things go without a hitch. I've used the service exclusively with my desktop PC. I cannot speak to the ease of use of Gixen's mobile Android app (free to Mirror subscribers), though I have no reason to suspect it would be any less effective.

Will Gixen win every auction for you? Of course not. A lot depends on the popularity of the item(s) being auctioned, which makes for more sniping & proxy bidding competition, and being sure not to bid some ridiculously low amount that is almost guaranteed to lose. That being said, I've won several auctions at very low prices, but with the knowledge that my bids could easily have been too low to win.

Based on my several years of membership, I highly recommend Gixen as a safe and low-cost way to save BIG on eBay auctions! It's a great tool to have in your arsenal if you're an avid eBay shopper like myself. The user interface is simple and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to set up snipes for multiple auctions. Plus, the fact that it's free to use the standard single server bidding feature is a huge plus for those on a tight budget.

One thing to keep in mind is that Gixen is not foolproof. There's always a chance that someone else will outbid you, or that your bid won't be high enough to win the auction. However, I've found that using Gixen has greatly increased my chances of winning auctions, especially for items that are in high demand.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience using Gixen. It's a reliable and affordable way to automate your eBay bidding process, and it's saved me a lot of time and money over the years. If you're looking for a way to streamline your eBay shopping experience, I highly recommend giving Gixen a try.

Gixen is a website that is focused on one thing - helping you bid on eBay auctions. It's a great tool for those who want to secure an auction by bidding at the very last moment. This way, you can avoid overbidding and ensure that you get the item you want. It's also useful for those who are busy, asleep, or just don't want to spend all their time bidding on eBay.

One of the best features of Gixen is that it allows you to group a number of auctions together and have the first successful bid cancel the others in the group. This is a great way to save time and ensure that you don't end up bidding on multiple items that you don't really want. And the best part? You can get all of this for free! Of course, there is a limit of four uses per month, but that's more than enough for most people.

If you're a frequent eBay bidder, however, you may want to consider upgrading to the premium version of Gixen. For just six bucks a year, you get unlimited bids, server redundancy (which means that the site will still bid for you even if the main server goes down), and responses to your emails. Plus, the owner of the site, Mario, is always looking for ways to improve the site and make it more useful for its users. In fact, I've personally seen suggestions taken on board and turned into new features.

As someone who bids on eBay 10+ times per month, I can't recommend Gixen enough. It's saved me so much time and money over the years, and I'm just about to renew my annual subscription for a second time. This is one of the very few sites that I recommend to my friends, clients, and family without reservation. So if you're looking for a way to make your eBay bidding experience easier and more efficient, give Gixen a try. Thank you, Mario, for creating such an awesome tool!

I've been using Gixen for a few years now and it's been a lifesaver. It's not just because I've been able to successfully bid on most of the items I want, but also because I can set my bid and forget about it. A colleague at work introduced me to Gixen and at first, I was a bit hesitant because I thought it was unfair to other bidders. But then I realized that it's like a "silent auction" where you bid the price you think the item is worth and how much you're willing to pay for it.

Sometimes I don't win an item because I've put in a bid that's too low and it's gone for more than I wanted to pay. But that's okay because I know I've bid what I'm comfortable with. The guy who created and runs the website, Mario, is always quick to respond to any issues or questions I have. It feels like a personal service, which is rare these days.

I've been with Gixen for about five or six years now and even though I don't use eBay that often - maybe once every month or two - I still pay the $6 per year. It's a negligible amount and if it means having a backup bid system and contributing to the running of the site, then it's worth it. I think there's a free version too, or there used to be. So, if you're unsure, you could always try it out.

Bidding on eBay has never been easier thanks to Gixen. My tip is to put in the absolute highest amount you're willing to pay for the item you want. You may not end up paying that much in the end anyway because the bids still go up in eBay increments.

Thanks to Gixen, I'm now sitting on one of my "new" beautiful distressed leather sofas that I bought for an amazing price just before Christmas off eBay. I put in two bids for each sofa to keep slightly under the radar so no one else would bid for them. Thank you, Gixen!

I've been using ebay for over 20 years and have tried a variety of sniping services since the early 2000s. As a reseller and collector, I don't want to be waking up at 4 AM to buy something from Japan or relying on my browser to not freeze up during the few seconds when making a bid can win you the item and save you hundreds of dollars.

Out of all the sniping services I've tried, Gixen is by far the most versatile and reliable. I've been a user since the early days and have tried a couple of other new apps since then, but none are as easy, cheap, or reliable as Gixen. It's the best app I've ever used, no kidding. I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not. I'm responding to the obviously fake and over-the-top review that came before mine.

The founder and designer, Mario, regularly updates and reminds users, but never in an obnoxious or self-serving way. He's the best possible "technocrat," working behind the scenes to ensure that everything runs smoothly. I routinely make bids 2 seconds before the auction closes, which prevents any "reflex" bids from others who may be watching the close of a sale. In the past, I had to bid even 5 or 6 seconds in advance to be safe, which happened regularly and added up. But with Gixen's mirror service, I've never had a problem with any of my 100s of bids in the past 4 years.

It's amazing. Try it out and you'll see that you can trust it. Then you'll pass the word along like I am!

Thanks, Gixen, and thanks, Super-Mario!

I really enjoy using Gixen for bidding on eBay. As a savvy buyer, I know that the real action happens in the last few seconds of an auction. If you bid too early, other buyers can see that the item is valuable and will drive up the price. That's why I used to stress out, waiting until the last possible moment to place my bid. But with Gixen, I don't have to worry about that anymore.

The best part about Gixen is that it allows me to place my bid at the last possible second, without giving away my perceived value of the item to other bidders. This means that I can get the item I want at a fair price, without having to worry about other buyers driving up the cost.

Of course, there's no guarantee that I'll win every auction I bid on. There are always other buyers who may want the item more than I do. But with Gixen, I feel like I have a better chance of winning, because I can place my bid at the exact moment I want to.

One thing I really appreciate about Gixen is that it's so affordable. If you don't mind losing the occasional bid, you can use the service for free. But if you're like me and hate losing anything, you can subscribe to the backup server for just $8 a year. This has saved me a lot of frustration and disappointment over the years.

Another great thing about Gixen is that it's really easy to use. I don't have to download any software to my computer, and my bids are processed just as if I had placed them myself. And if I ever have any problems, I can always reach out to Mario, the software manager, for help.

Overall, I think Gixen is a fantastic tool for anyone who wants to win eBay auctions without having to stress out about bidding at the last second. It's affordable, easy to use, and has helped me win many auctions over the years. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get the most out of their eBay buying experience.

Gixen is an amazing tool that I use all the time to win items on Ebay at great prices. I've never had any issues with it, except for one small thing. Sometimes, if you put in more than one bid at exactly the same time, Ebay will reject those bids. This is because Ebay's software thinks it's impossible for the same user to be entering bids on multiple items at the same time. However, this is not a big problem because Gixen includes the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the end of each auction, making it easy to spot this. All you have to do is adjust the offset time of your bids. For example, if three items are ending at the same moment, you can enter bids on all three but set the timing of your bids at 8,6, and 4 seconds before the end of the auction. Problem solved!

The best part about Gixen is that it's free! Yes, you heard that right. It's really free, which is unbelievable. Instead of having to put in bids manually and often well before the end of the auction, this service helps you win items that you might not have if you had placed your bid earlier and to win items at lower prices. I can jump on a computer, put in my bids for all the items I want to bid on that end in the next 24 hours, and forget about it. It's that easy!

The other great thing about Gixen is that the guy who runs this service, Mario, is very good with communication with the users. He periodically posts updates, has sometimes asked for user input, and overall seems to be really on top of things and trying his best to make the service as good as possible. This is something that I really appreciate as a user.

I'm not sure if you have to be subscribed to Gixen Mirror ($6 per year or less if you sign up for multiple years) to be able to adjust the offset time of your bids, but I highly recommend it. It's a small price to pay for such a great service.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a tool to help you win items on Ebay at great prices, look no further than Gixen. It's free, easy to use, and the guy who runs it is really on top of things. I'm 55 years old and have now written my first review, and I'm happy to say that it's for Gixen.

I had a stroke back in 2015, and it caused some damage to my brain. As a result, I have almost no short-term memory. If it weren't for Gixen, I would be lost. This website allows me to list an item for a certain price and then forget about it. When the time comes, I get an email reminding me about the item, and I can go to eBay and pay for it. It's simple, but it has helped me organize my life despite my mental problems.

One of the best things about Gixen is that it removes a lot of stress about last-minute bids. You can group items so that you only end up with the first one won. All the other grouped bids are cancelled by a successful outcome. This feature has saved me a lot of time and energy, and it has never failed me. That's why I say it is reliable.

I had to rejoin once because my computer crashed, and I lost my login details. But it was no problem. I just paid for another membership, and I was back in business. I don't know how to recover my old ID, but I liked the straightforwardness of getting a new one. Two days later, I was ahead of the game due to savings far exceeding the annual fee.

Gixen is so inexpensive that it's crazy cheap. Yet, it's a truly great friend to people like me who try to get by on a pension and have memory issues. If I'm focused on something, like writing this review, my memory issues aren't apparent. But if my cat interrupts me, I could forget to finish it or even to post it.

One problem about writing this review is that there will be more competition for items, and I may not get to win as many auctions at ridiculous bargain prices. But I suppose I have to be honest. It's just the end of the season of "Good Will To All Men," so here's my review. I hope you don't 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. It's less than the price of a pint in some cities, and unlike Guinness and the like, it does you some good, financially speaking. The items I have bought at significant savings have put a big smile on my face and keep it there.

Gixen is a website that allows you to snipe auctions on eBay. It worked fine for me on my first snipe, but then I had trouble getting back to my account. Instead, I was directed to a page about mirror service. It was frustrating, but I eventually figured out how to get back to my account.

One thing to note is that Gixen is not a free service. You have to pay a fee to use it. It's not even close to being free. However, I do think it's worth the money if you're serious about sniping auctions on eBay.

I also wanted to upload some media to my review on Sitejabber, but I found out that I could only upload screenshots of the Gixen website. Unfortunately, I couldn't upload any animated gifs or video clips.

Overall, I think Gixen is a decent website for sniping auctions on eBay. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Just be prepared to pay a fee and deal with some technical difficulties.
