| No more time is required in terms of offsets for sites other than the American one.
If I recall correctly all Ebay servers are actually located in North America anyway... even the ones that service the satellite sites. |

| Everything went as smooth as expected. I got all the books except the ones where I was outbidded, obviously.
I've used eBay for the last 13 years, and tried diferent sniping services with not much luck. I can testify that Gixen is the best of them all, by far and large. Thank you so much and best regards. |

| Thanks for your answers.
So, is the offset time irrelevant when using a different eBay site than the NA one? I assumed I'd need a few seconds more to cross the pond since the mirrors were conecting to the European site. I see I was wrong. |

| There is no difference compared to North American users. Country site matters only for insurance reasons, so you should probably choose Germany.
As for 1 minute apart - if the items are at least 60 seconds apart, that's OK in most cases. |

|
| Hi everyone,
How well does Gixen works for European users? Have any tips on mirror configuration and offset times? Is better to choose the German site instead of the NA one? I plan to bid in a huge collection of books in a couple days. Downside is that the seller choosed to list them all separately, and there are more than 60 books, each auction finishing around 1 minute from the last. What are the chances of raising a red flag and having eBay locking my account after a few bids? Thank you all for your time. |
