Gixen can't nor it wants to block anyone from bidding. Gixen submits your maximum bid to ebay seconds before end, and then ebay takes over and determines the amount needed to win using their proxy bidding. Three seconds are safe when used with mirror, however they offer no added benefit over 6 second snipes.

iS IT SAFE TO WAIT UNTIL THE THREE SECOND SETTING TO ALLOW GIXEN TO PLACE A BID? CAN GIXEN OR IT'S SERVERS MAKE THE NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS IN TIME TO RAISE MY LIMIT, IF THE NEWEST HIGEST BID IS 55 AND I HAVE A SECRET GIXEN BID OF 98 WILL GIXEN BE ABLE TO MAKE THE NEEDED RAISE BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS? DOES GIXEN HAVE A BLOCK ABILITY TO KEEP OTHERS OUT? AT THE VERY LAST POSSIABLE SECONDS OR MICRO SECONDS OR DOES EBAY TAKE OVER AUTOMATICALLY AFTER A CERTAIN FAIL SAFE TIME MECHANISIM IS ACTIVATED ??
