Note that Gixen only tries to mimic ebay's criteria if weak password, and these are not really the same. If you feel your password is strong enough, you can, and should, turn the warning off on the settings page.

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for subscribing.

I've used other sniping services before. cniper seems to have gone the way of the dodo, and it always seemed clunky to me. I like the clean, skinny, yet attractive user interface of gixen, and it seems to render and function well in both chrome and opera. Explanations are clear and in not-just-spellchecked English. (I wooden want too loose an auction!)

I was happy to pay the $6 for the service upgrade even before I'd sniped a single bid. Speaking of which:

Would it be possible for new users to test gixen by buying one or two "buy it now" items, to make sure their password doesn't get captcha'd or such. I get the weak password warning from gixen, but while kind of short, my PW contains both u & l letters and numbers, and would be found in no dictionary, and I've never seen an ebay captcha.....I'd prefer not to change it if I don't have to.
