|
| I can understand your confusion. You can always check on the eBay site, so it would be redundant to duplicate that on Gixen. Auctions are usually up for a few days, the ones I bid on anyway. If you see something that you want, later, you make up your mind the maximum that you would be willing to pay. Then log in, an place your maximum bid and forget about it. Go have a life.
If your bid is high enough you will win, if it is to low you may not. The first loser picks the price, not you if you win. You do not have to sit there and watch what other bidders are doing. But if you want to, you can join the losers over at eBay. |

| I see, I just noticed it updated after a few good hours. Thanks for answering, this may help other Gixen newbs like myself that wonder the same. :) | |

| Atlas,
This is normal - Gixen makes updates every few hours or so, they are not instant. There is no way it can update 30k scheduled listings in real-time, and there is no need for it anyway. |

|
| I scheduled a bid for item 221039833067. It had an auction button and also a buy it now option. Apparently, a person already bought it with the buy it now option. Gixen, however, still states that the auction is scheduled to be bid on. It's not a serious bug, since even if gixen bid on the item nothing would happen, but it (wtf'd) confused me a little at first. The gixen page should state something like "item sold" or something like that.
My 2 cents Atlas |
