Yes, we started a conversation about this here.

I suspect Gixen shows it as before the fee when there are no bids, and after the fee when a bid is placed.

I think you're probably correct (although I see 12.53 GBP for 256885239792, not GBP 12.35, I'm guessing that is a typo on your part ?).

I also agree:

It would be helpful if Gixen always included the fee. That would enable accurate comparison between professional and private sellers.

It might be more complicated than you would imagine though as Ebay is reporting those prices back to Gixen as 'current price', and as Mario indicated on the other thread, it's not even indicating to Gixen what type of seller it is, at the moment.

It is perhaps worth noting that there has always needed to be a slightly different interpretation of opening prices without bids, as opposed to those with one, in that Ebay will accept a bid at the opening price when there are no bids but will only accept one at least one bid increment more than that once a bid has been placed. However, at least, all that information has traditionally been available on the Gixen snipes page... Now not all the required information to know what bid will be accepted is always present, when the seller is registered as private.
