outbit by same sum

[mateim22]

i have just lost the item 190809756893 by bidding 35 euros and the item was sold for 35 euros to another. i saw my bid was put by gixen before the other bid with the same price went through so I wonder how was this possible. i am a new gixen user. thanks for help,

If you look at the bid history you will see that the winning bid was placed more than two hours before your bid.

This is how ebay works when two bids of the same amount are placed the earlier one is the winner.

This is why many people bid odd amounts, if your bid had been one cent more you would have won.
