As an afterthought. If a bidder placed a snipe with both gavelsnipe and gixen as an insurance bid, I assume that you would not be bidding against yourself as they are both under the same Ebay user ID. I have often bid manually with a Gavelsnipe bid in place on an item and only got it for the highest amount needed to win, even though the Gavelsnipe max and the manually entered max bid were both higher than the winning bid.....

Beware the Gixen phone app-it is quite wonky on the Android platform for me. Works fine on my PC but the app has been a nightmare.

Won't be a problem....I use my phone to make calls and receive calls, nothing else....can't imagine operating daily on it, versus my laptop

Yep, failed me last night. It may have something to do with ebay's forced changeover to managed payments that happened just a few days ago. Ebay ended over 500 of my listings. Coins, Tokens, Postcards... They are the worst run publicly traded company on the internet.

My wife says gavelsnipe is where old white guys steal toys from kids LOL. This all because her and my son lost a bid on some Ghostbusters toys. They watched with excitement and celebrated their win when they were the high bidder until the screen refreshed.
