The $6 per year is for the optional "mirror service". For the OP, here is a breakdown of Gixen. (I just copied from their site.)
Gixen features, all absolutely free:
No download required!
Gixen automatically places your bids on eBay at the last moment.
Entirely automatic - your computer doesn't have to be on.
Group bidding: first successful snipe cancels all the others.
Unlimited number of snipes.
Free browser plugins for IE, Firefox and Chrome.
Gixen Desktop Manager - schedule and monitor your snipes from your Windows desktop.
Gixen is provided to you completely free, no catch.
Gixen is completely secure.
Gixen is 99.5% reliable.
Gixen Mirror Features:
All the Gixen main service features, plus:
Gixen Mirror is a multi-server, fault-tolerant sniping service, unmatched by any other sniping service or sniping software. Your snipes are sent twice, from two different hosting locations.
No ads in the logged-in area.
Contingency group bidding - first failed bid cancels all the others in a group.
New! Multi-win group bidding - define how many items you want to win in a group.
Wider choice of snipe time choices (3,6,8,10,12 and 15 seconds).
Auction end times refreshed hourly, as opposed to daily.
Other small perks provided to Mirror users only, such as CSV export / import and Gixen API.
100% reliable (*). No other sniping service provides this.
Cost of Gixen Mirror is a bargain at $6 a year.
