[quote="c1993w"]Hi there, I used to use Gixen years and years ago, but then I stopped using eBay for a while. When I used to use Gixen, I could adjust when my bid would be submitted (aka 30s before end, 10s, 5s, etc). When I just set up my Gixen for today, I did not see an option for this. I just lost an auction, and the bidding history showed me bidding on the item 7 minutes prior to the end of the item. Could anyone explain to me why that is? If I understand the bidding history correctly, it may have lost me the auction at $213 and I may have actually won the auction at $165 had my snipe executed 5s before end. Item #: 277258656609[/quote]
