Hi

I have a question regarding Gixen, which I will soon find out I suppose. But how does Gixen interract with auctions where the item has not met the reserved price. Is it aware of it? My thought process on how it should work is this:

Item with reserved price of ÂGBP 40. The actual price to make it eligible to to be won is ÂGBP 45. But we don't know that yet.

I submit on Gixen ÂGBP 45 to bid. There will be no bids other then mine (hopefully) when it ends.

Will it submit the bid for ÂGBP 45 since it knows there's a reserve price? Thank you in advance.

Gixen always submits the bid you specify, whether or not there is a reserve price.

This is how all sniping services work, the price you pay is however worked out by Ebay based on other bids and reserves chosen by sellers.

There is a blog entry about bidding here:
