[quote="juangrande"]If you are being automatically outbid, this means the other bidder has put in a bid substantially higher than the minimum bid. Their bid has already been accepted by eBay's proxy bidding system: there is no way to bid faster than a bid that has already been placed. The only way to win is to bid [i]higher[/i] than the other bidder. What Gixen [i]can[/i] do for you is place your bid so close to the end of the auction that the other bidder has no time to rebid. What you should do is enter a snipe on Gixen for the maximum amount you would be willing to pay and let Gixen place your bid 5 seconds before the auction ends. If the other bidder bid more than your maximum, they will win; otherwise, you will win at their bid + up to one bid increment.[/quote]

Post subject: Quick Question
Hello,
I read the FAQs and I searched for my question, didn't see any answers, so I thought I'd ask, and hopefully be answered before the auction is over.
I wanna buy a truck, and I was the only bid down to 10 hrs then some dude comes in and bids, I bid, and find out that he has the automatic thing going for him. If I use gixen to snipe it will there be the chance I get my bid in before it autos for him and wins?
Thanks for any help.
