I tried to place a bid on an item in the last minute

A whole minute would be a long time, it's unlikely your bid would not have been recorded.

If you're talking about the last few seconds, a lot of things can go wrong between your connected device, your ISP's server and eBay's server. Especially at busy periods and if you have a slow or unreliable internet connection.

Like all of us, you will need to judge for yourself how close to the deadline it's safe to bid without running the risk of connection issues.

Otherwise, bid at a safe time, and the maximum you would be willing to pay. That way you will either win, or lose fairly to someone who was willing to pay more.

If you want to take the hassle out of last minute bidding use a Sniping Tool.

There is always the risk that bids will not get through when done manually in the final seconds.
