I'm wondering whether the bot keeps bidding until the seller's reserve price is met?

Gixen only bids at one price, the same from both servers.

The mechanism that ensures you don't pay more than one bid increment more than the next highest bidder is within Ebay, not Gixen.

So, if your maximum bid is not high enough to reach the reserve price then the reserve price is not met. If it is high enough then the price does immediately rise to that level. That's all part of how Ebay handles bids.

Gixen is designed to use the Ebay bidding system, there's never any need to bid more than once at the very end of the auction. Indeed there would be many issues with designing a system that did bid more than once on Ebay, which would be a disadvantage to the Gixen user.
