[quote="Cupid"]It isn't a problem for Gixen, HOWEVER.. Ebay doesn't like you to bid on many things in the same second. It is not unknown for Ebay to block accounts that place multiple bids in the same second. If they end in at exactly the same second then I would recommend that you upgrade your Gixen account to have the Mirror service. Then you can select different offsets for your snipes. That results in the bids being placed at least a second apart. If the auctions actually end a few seconds apart then it is not a problem for Gixen to bid on them all.[/quote]

The Mirror is a second server that tries to place the bid you want in the last seconds of the auction.
It adds to the reliability of Gixen since if the Main server fails to place the bid for some reason you still have the Mirror that can do the job for you.
There are also features that are only available when you have a mirror subscription, one of those is the ability to set the offset that you want, which is the amount of time before the auction closes that you want the system to try to place the bid for you.
You can independently choose the offset for both servers. The amount that they bid is both the same.
Normally you only get one bid placed by Gixen since there one that is later is blocked by Ebay, you are not actually allowed to place the same bid twice at different times from the same Ebay account.

You use a Regular Group when there are several auctions and you only want to win one of them.
When Gixen wins one of the items in the Group the rest of the snipes in the same Group are cancelled so that you can not win any more.
When using this type of Group you should make sure that the auctions end at least 2 minutes apart, otherwise there may not be enough time to cancel the later snipes and you could end up winning more than one.
