Yes. Gixen.com is using SSL both to transmit your password from your browser, and to authenticate it with eBay. Furthermore, your eBay password is not kept for long after auction ends - after your bids are submitted to eBay, your password is deleted within 48 hours to minimize the risk of it being compromised in the future. This also means that you have only 2 days after auction ends to view status of your bid on gixen.com. If you choose to do so, you can delete your bids even before that. From Gixen FAQ:

I mean, I can understand it requires to log in for you... But how the hell do you know they are trustworthy or even have a high enough level of security not to get their (and therefore your) data stolen. I think you should be very careful when recommending such a site, I bet most readers are not techies and might not understand the whole risks of giving up there login credentials to just any site...
