Bidding fiasco

[thewishfulthinker]

Recently I was bidding on an item. Went into watchlist, that said I was the highest bidder. Followed countdown from 3 mins to zero, when it reached zero, I was told I'd been outbid, how can that be. I'd had no notification that someone else was in front, I've got no bidding history, so don't know when they placed their bid. Only get *bleep* on A.I. talk through. What can I do. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Maybe a late bid was placed and no time left to notify you

Bidding History will be shown on the listing,What was the listing number please?

If it's the number in brackets after sellers name it's 6419

No that's the sellers feedback score,the listing number is halfway down the page on the right with item specifics on the left

Sorry, found it now, it's  187148403021. Can't see bidding history. Usually I get that in email when I've been outbid.

Here's the history you can see the other bidder increased their bid 9 seconds before the end of auction.

Thanks a lot for all your help. Someone did that before, beat me right at the end, but I got a message straight away, couldn't have worked this time, because not a thing.  I was amazed it got right down to nought, I thought I'd won, but it wasn't the case, oh well. Thanks again.
