This is probably a really dumb question and I'm already 50% sure of the answer but I can't find anything about it in either the Gixen Terms or (so far) the forum here:

Is it possible to link my Gixen account to more than one eBay account or is it simply 1 x Gixen account to 1 x eBay account?

Thanks.

You can change which Ebay account Gixen bids on, by changing the authorisation that you give it to bid in the second section of the Settings page.

However, if you want to bid on two different Ebay accounts at the same time, you do need separate Gixen accounts.

Also note that if you already have multiple Gixen accounts, with the way that Ebay administers the authorisations, if you set up a second Gixen account to bid on the same Ebay account as the first Gixen account, then the first authorisation will be invalidated, so only the second Gixen account set up to bid on that Ebay account will work from then on.

Yep, thought that might be the case but wanted to confirm so thanks for the fast response here. Looks like I'll be setting up another Gixen Mirror account, then!

OK, if you do please take great care not to schedule snipes on the same item from different accounts, because then you will end up bidding against yourself.

I speak from experience, I've made that mistake (more than once), and it's always a slap head moment.
