 |

Is the amount I input inducing postage or is postage not included.
E.g. if I put a max amount of GBP 20 in and the postage is GBP 2 is that added or is the max amount actually GBP 18.

Hi Ben,
Postage is not taken into consideration by Gixen.
If your maximum bid is GBP 20 and you win the item for GBP 19 and the shipping charge is 2 GBP you will have to pay the seller 21 GBP for them to deliver it to you.
What I do is work out the maximum that I am willing to pay and deduct the shipping charge from that to work out the maximum bid I add to the snipe.
So in your case, if I am willing to pay 20 GBP the snipe that I put on Gixen will be for 18 GBP.

Thanks, that is what I would do to, its just that it did not mention it in FAQ so I did not know if it was nessesery. As some sellers charge quite high postage this can be significant. Hopefully the info you have given can be folded into FAQ.
