Highest bidder always wins, not the last, so it is up to you to bid before the last few minutes.

Alternatively google "Sniping". Even then it is up to you to decide how much you are prepared to bid then the bid is made in the last few seconds of an auction.

By preview list, do you mean an email alert for items on your search list?

If so, there's nothing you can do to speed it up. Faster broadband doesn't prevent server delays.

Apart from following a search list in real time, you can never compete with bidders who happen to be online. Whatever you're searching for, it must be quite in demand!
