This is a free and really useful service which allows you to create bids at the last 6 seconds of an auction.
Winning or losing an auction is purely a matter of bidding the higher price first. Sniping with Gixen is nothing more than delayed order placement.

True, but this does not affect the usefulness of sniping. You set a fixed figure of how much you want to pay for an item, and that’s that. You are not entwined into the emotional experience of seeing the price increase, inciting you to go beyond what you originally intended.
You can select a number of similar items, set the same price for each and whichever you win first if yours.
>True, but this does not affect the usefulness of sniping. You set a fixed figure of how much you want to pay for an item, and that’s that. < That is not sniping that is eBays automatic bidding. Snipping just places your order closer to the end of the auction. It places one bid one time.
Without sniping in any way you can set a fixed figure of how much you want to pay for an item and place the bid on eBay days before the end of the auction. If your bid is high enough you will still win the auction after all the snipes have been placed. But once you place the bid with eBay if is hard to change it. If you are using a snipe service like Gixen, you can change the bid as often as you like, up or down, until the snip is fired.
