[quote="Cupid"]The Offset time that you specify for a snipe is the time that the bid will be placed, Gixen starts the process of logging in much earlier than that, so that it is ready to bid when you want it to. Then Gixen only bids once, the Ebay proxy bidding system makes sure that you don't have to pay more than one bod increment more than anyone else was prepared to bid. There is no point in using two methods of bidding, in my opinion, especially if you have a Mirror subscription.[/quote]

Due to the way ebay and Gixen interact that usually means that only one bid is placed on the auction for your account and most often that is the bid with the highest offset, that is the one scheduled to be placed earlier.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>liam</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat May 04, 2013 2:43 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: bidding question</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>mario wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">I prefer 8 second offsets, in order to take advantage of bid increments.
