 |
|
| Hi! I am new to eBay and not an experienced user of Gixen, either. I want to win 1 item, of which there are 2 posted for sale on eBay. The items end within 2.5 minutes of each other. The items are rare, so I want to maximize my chances of winning one of the items by bidding on both. If I put both items in the same group on Gixen, and win the first one, will Gixen have time to automatically cancel the 2nd bid? These items are expensive, so I don't want to win twice! Thanks! |

Yes, 2.5 minutes should be plenty of time for Gixen to cancel the bid on the second auction if you win the first, if it is much less than 2 minutes though I wouldn't risk it if I were you. Good luck.

Well, it appears to be about 3 minutes when I click on the item numbers on eBay. If I posted the item numbers, would you be able to double check my estimate? I'm half afraid that I'm not looking in the right spot! 
If it would happen to be less than 2 minutes apart, you're saying that it might be a risky venture, though? Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! |

If it looks like 3 minutes apart you will be fine.
If you want Mario to double check for you and you dont wish to post the item numbers here you can always email him directly.

| Anything over 2 minutes is fine for sure. |
