When there are two accepted bids of the same amount, the first one placed is the winner on Ebay.
To combat this people often add an extra penny or two to what they are prepared to pay, and/or choose a larger offset so that their bid is placed before other snipers.
If you're thinking that your bid should not have been accepted... the rule is that, once at least one bid has been accepted on an auction, any new bid must be at least one bid increment more than the current auction price... not more than the current accepted high bid amount, which is often hidden, until it is outbid. The only reason that you now know what that high bid was, before yours was accepted, is that it was within one bid increment of yours.

Post subject: Same bid as the winner
Hello
I was just wondering how come someone else won an item on the exact same amount as I put on an item. In the bid history it says my bid was $250 and it also says that another person got it at $250. Can you explain how. I’m new to this.
Thanks
