It won't hinder Gixen because Gixen uses the authorisation you give it to place bids on Ebay for you. It doesn't log in like you do, in fact it has no access to your Ebay password at all.

If you're having trouble interpreting what the Gixen site is telling you, you can also check your Paypal account, because scheduled/recurring payments will also be detailed there.
