I don't know how Gixen takes shipping in to account
It doesn't, I always have a maximum that I am wiling to pay, I calculate my snipe value by subtracting the cost of shipping on the listing (or that the seller tells me).

Thanks for the response. I just ended up winning my first bid with Gixen and came across something. I entered my Gixen bid amount of $325.83 while the bid was at $300 with about 5 minutes to go. I somehow ended up winning with a bid price of $305 (plus the $24.95 shipping, I don't know how Gixen takes shipping in to account). I am in now way complaining since I won the bid for a lower price I am just curious as to why Gixen bid $305 and not $325.83? Thanks

It will bid your maximum amount, however the eBay bidding system ensures that you only pay a maximum of one bid increment more than the next highest bidder.

Post subject: Need some help understanding and example
Suppose I want to have my maximum bid set at $200. The current bid for the item is $100. If no one else bids from then on until the end of the auction will Gixen put in my bid of $200 or would it bid incrementally like to $105 or $110?
