Outbid over a minute after auction ended - help? | Buying

Hi all, I'm fairly new to EBay and just now was outbid at 1:31:18 my local time for an auction that was supposed to have ended at 1:30. I received the warning email at 1:31:18 when the "winning" bid came in, but was watching the auction and assumed the item was mine after we passed the 1:30, then the 1:31:00 threshold. (Read up on snipers and how auctions can continue into the 59 seconds past the closing time.) The auction then closed at 1:31:23. Can someone please advise me on how this works? This was disappointing and seems unfair. Thank you so much! J.
