				why do i keep getting out bid at the last minute?
 
this site makes my bid with 4/5 seconds to go all the time and i keep losing things. is there a way to bid in the last second to ensure i don't get outbid? i thought the idea of gixen was to stop being outbid buy it firing in the bid at the last second!! |

				"OUTBID" means that a higher bid was already there when Gixen placed your snipe, and ebay used proxy bid to outbid you. Nothing can help you with that - Gixen can't make miracles if your bid is not high enough.
 
 
The idea of Gixen is to ensure there are no *manual* bidders changing their mind and placing a higher bid after your bid is placed. |
