1. 5/5A Developer You Want to Hug

   Mario has been lovingly developing this app for a very long time. In one sense, I wish he was in charge if all the apps I use, and in another I’m not because Gixen is so useful / he can devote his time to it. He sends emails every few months, and I actually read them, gleefully. It’s like getting a CSA box full of vegetables, straight from the farm, with stories about how the chickens are doing, the llama, and the cucumbers that will likely be ripe and in next week’s order, along with pictures of the animals / fields. It’s wholesome. You can tell this guy *cares*. And you can tell that he’s ethical, loves making something great — not for riches or fame, but because possibly, if we all did that, the world would just be a better place. He doesn’t make his app or service paywall necessary, even though I’m sure he’d make more money. And even though I don’t need to, and am very thrifty, I subscribe — because he seems like that good of a guy. This is all said as a person who never reads emails from developers or companies. Or leaves reviews for apps or items. I’m more positively passionate for this app than I have ever been upset or annoyed with anything — which is saying something, given how strong of an emotion disdain is. In fact, this review isn’t even for you to read, dear end-user, but for Mario to read, so he can feel appreciated. We adore you, buddy. Thank you for being in a helping profession, and using your talent for good in this world. Especially against a [self-censored] company like eBay.

2. 5/5Been using this for a long time

   Game changing platform that allows you to win lots of bids on eBay without having to sit watching the time tick down all day and try to make a manual last second bid that may not even cut it. Instead, gixen allows you to place a “snipe” bid, or a bid that won’t go active until the final few seconds of the eBay auction. Not only do you win more bids, but you also save money. If you are buying say a signed baseball that is up for auction and the current bid price is $55 but the item still has 20 hours left till the auction ends, you can go ahead and place a snipe bid with gixen right then and there. If you are comfortable spending $90 on this baseball and no higher, then you can place a $90 gixen bid. If the item ends up at $65 dollars with time ticking down, gixen will automatically make sure that it not only gets you the win, but it will make sure you win at the lowest cost to you. So even if your bid was $90, gixen will automatically get you the win for only $66, or whatever the next highest bidding tier is. This is so much better than waiting till the last second on eBay and bidding your $90 because eBay will take strictly what you bid and you may win the item, but you would have just lost out on $24 dollars because you didn’t use gixen. Also if you end up losing out and the bidding ends at over $90, there is no charge to you, meaning that $90 doesn’t go anywhere. It doesn’t go to some account on gixen or anything like that, it stays right in your bank account as if nothing ever happened. I know this is an extensive review but it is because I would recommend everyone who shops on eBay to use gixen. It’s a time and money saver. I’m so excited that they finally have a mobile app as I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. The yearly subscription price is incredibly cheap for the value that you will save by winning more bids at a lower price. I don’t work for gixen haha I promise. I’m a sports card collector and gixen has helped me stay invested in growing my collection because of the convenience of the platform. Happy eBay shopping everyone!

3. 5/5Very basic, and very effective

   The interface is a bit clunky, but the execution (for me, at least) has been flawless. I haven’t won every auction, of course, but my snipes have always been executed on time. The free version never failed, but the paid version is so cheap that I’ve upgraded to support the developer. One niggle is that I can edit snipes in the iPad app, but don’t seem to be able to do so in the iPhone app. On my iPhone if I want to change something, then I have to delete the snipe and create a new one.

4. 5/5A Must-Have for Card Collectors!

   As a sports card collector, Gixen has become one of my secret weapons on eBay. No more sitting around refreshing auctions or getting caught in bidding wars. I set my max price, let Gixen do its thing, and either win at my price or move on to the next chase card. It’s saved me time, money, and more than a few late nights. The app is simple, reliable, and has become an essential part of my collecting routine. Highly recommended for anyone hunting cards on eBay!

5. 5/5Impressed After Just One Day - Gixen Delivers!

   I only signed up for Gixen yesterday and already subscribed to the service, I’m really impressed so far! Setup was super easy, the interface is clean and straightforward, and my first few snipes went through perfectly in the last seconds without any issues. Even after just one day, it feels like a solid, no-nonsense tool. Looking forward to using it more—early signs are very promising!
