There were two ways to do this: one - to hike fees for Gixen Mirror users.
So I realized I have to increase revenue. I cannot take a vacation without constantly checking my cell phone, as I cannot afford to hire help. I have no time nor resources to develop mobile apps. I cannot find time to make major improvements to the service - e.g. I finally realized that not only that it's difficult for myself, it's not even good for Gixen users. Mind you - I am not bitter about it, I chose my business model myself - but I have every right to modify it if it makes sense. Meanwhile I cannot afford to quit my job and support just myself. To give you an idea - I recently met at a conference one of the owners of competing, paid, service, and he has staff of 5, including himself, and supports that with 1/3 of the traffic Gixen has. Mirror generated some income, but it has always been low. I made it running for free by having a day job. Gixen was free since beginning, which was more than 10 years ago, since August 2006. I responded already to a few emails about this, and I don't mind discussing it in the forum.
My advice would be to axe that whole idea asap. Instead of getting me to become a aying member, its made me decide not to become a paying member. So at least in this case, your 60 second timer has had the exact opposite effect. I just cant support a site that uses such methids to try and get people to become paying customers. Its even more annoying than video sites making you watch advertisements. Its best to just enter the amount you are willing to pay in Gixen and leave it at that, but forcing people to wait 60 seconds for no reason at all has ade me consider using a different bidding service altgether. I have been using the free version of Gixen for years but I have been seriously considering upgrading to the paying service the last couple of months as I have become a much more serious collector over the last year and I try and avoid bidding at all as I have seen prices go insanely high on items simply becuce a couple of people got into a bidding war.
