What happens if you have already made a starting bid and just before the end of the auction you are still the high bidder. But you have also used Gixen to ensure that your highest bid is made. Would Gixen recognise that you are the highest bidder anyway and not place the sniping bid or would it go ahead and bid meaning you pay more than you needed to?

Gixen does not check your previous bids, it trys to place the bid that you ask it to at the end of the auction.
However, that does not mean that you would pay more than you otherwise would if your first bid is not exceeded by another bidder. This is because eBay does not raise the auction price as a result of you outbidding yourself. _________________ Mark
