Bid received after auction ended

I've read a few other similar stories to this: I've entered a maximum bid on an item (around 5-7 seconds before the auction ends), and won the item with eBay's autobid.

However, on looking at the list of bids, the next bid lower to mine shows as being placed/ received 1 second after the auction end time.

This is not a discrepancy between the time on my device and eBay time; I'm not comparing times. This is in the list of bids and the time of those bids.

I won the item, but for a higher price than if that final bid had been rejected as it was too late.

I have a screen shot but not sure if I can attach it.

If other bidder used a snipeing tool to bid at last second, then that may be why you didn't see bid until listing ended,

I know you say that your device & ebay clocks are the same, but only needs to be out by 1 second to appear as if bid was after auction end, have you looked at time of bids on ended listing.
