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

The most dependable eBay sniper I've ever used. Very modest pricing for such an impressive service. VERY easy to use, ( either with phone app or via website). Gixen takes the anxiety out of eBay biddi... 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

What you really want in a sniping…

What you really want in a sniping service is reliability - worst case scenario is they fail to bid in those last seconds because of a system failure and you lose an important purchase. Gixen has been, over a number of months, VERY reliable. I have total confidence that once I've placed a bid, it will be handled correctly.

Brilliant Sniping Service

I used to use JBidWatcher but switched to Gixen when support for the former ceased. To date, I have only used Gixen three times but in doing so I have won three auctions 😊 The user interface is a little clumsy and it would be nice to see both a smartphone app and integration with your eBay Watch List at some point in the future.

Simple effective sniping

In my opinion sniping is the only sensible way to bid on eBay auctions, because too many people don't properly think about what their maximum bid really is, and will increase their bid if you allow them time to by not bidding in the last few seconds.
I've been using Gixen for several years now, with no major problems, and Mario is always very responsive on the help forum.

Outstanding sniper service

Outstanding sniper service. I’ve used Gixen for years and have never had any problems. Everything runs like clockwork and the premium service is definitely worth the small amount of money that it costs, although the free version is also just as good. The best sniping service out there. I never bid on eBay without it!

Brilliant service

Never bid on eBay without it. (Given 4* not 5*, because in the early days it would very occasionally let me down. Hasn't happened for years, though.)

Wish I'd found them years ago!

Having had a previous sniping provider (B****p) vanish without trace overnight & consequently not received any refund of the remaining money in my account, I was searching for a reasonably priced alternative & was led to Gixen as a result of my enquiries. For at least six months, given that I am a less frequent bidder on eBay nowadays, I simply availed myself of their free option & found it to be faultless throughout. Because of this, I ultimately decided that it was only fair that I really should sign up for the two year "mirror" subscription, as I'd not had not lost a single auction & thus found this site very reliable, hence Mario ought to receive payment for his efforts. Most certainly, based on my experiences so far, I would not consider switching from Gixen & thus sincerely hope that the developer receives sufficient income to ensure that this truly excellent sniping service can continue to be maintained for many years to come.

Easy stress-free sniping

I have used gixen for a bit over a month now, it really lends itself to stress-free bidding. Just set it and forget that you the the auction running. No more babysitting the auction and feeling the stress build over those critical remaining seconds. Definitely worth the price.
