It's not enough that your bid is higher, it has to be higher for a certain increment, or ebay will not accept the bid. See http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/bid-increments.html and you will understand.

I understand now. The difference should be 2.50.

You have to be the first high bidder. You can win by one cent, but the bid must also be a full increment above the visible bid. If you wanted it, you should have bid twenty dollars more, and you would have won it at a price $2.50 above that last bid.
