Is Gixen eBay Sniper Autosnipe safe?
Gixen eBay Sniper Autosnipe puts stored Gixen credentials into a readable eBay page link.
The extension stores the Gixen username and password in chrome.storage.local, then on eBay bid pages builds a Gixen autosnipe URL containing those credentials and inserts it into the page DOM as a javascript link. Because the URL sits in a page attribute, scripts running on the matched eBay page can read the Gixen username and password without accessing extension storage.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
