[quote="Cupid"]Grouping is used when you only want to win one item in the group, to do that you assign an item to a group when you set up a snipe on Gixen. For instance if you want to win 1 new car... not all of the ones that your are interested in bidding on you assign all those snipes to the same Group. You should NOT assign a Group to your snipes if you want to win all of them, as in your case.[/quote]

Thanks for the replies and reassurances...I've had a closer look now and I can see where you set bids to be grouped (I hadn't even noticed that before)...and I think I've figured out how and why you do it.
I think I was making the mistake of assuming that "grouping" meant items all from one seller, but I can now see that (I) would create the group myself...and the seller(s) is actually irrelevant...I think...LOL
Anyway, I'm not anxious any more.
Thanks again :)

asdf1976,
Don't worry about groups. Grouping you have to explicitly select. If you have not done this, all snipes are single snipes.
I have no idea where you read that if you lose a bid from one seller, that all other bids are canceled with the same seller. Such feature does not exist.
Thank you for subscribing - schedule your snipes and stop worrying. For every post and/or failure you see about in the forum, there are literally thousands of wins. For example, only in the last 48 hours Gixen won 9,300 auctions.

You should NOT assign a Group to your snipes if you want to win all of them, as in your case.

Post subject: concerned about not understanding "grouping"
Hi, I'm a new user of Gixen and I've just paid the $6 to have the mirror service. I'm reading a lot about "group bidding" but I have no idea what it means.
In about 8 hours, I have set bids on Gixen for 10
different
items, all from the one seller and all of which end within a minute of each other...I am concerned that something to do with "grouping" is going to happen which I have no idea of.
I keep reading that if you lose a bid from the same seller, than all other bids are cancelled...i would be HORRIFIED if this happened to me as I do not want it to.
Can someone please advise ?
