eBay keeps time to a fraction of a second, it is the display that is truncated to the lower second (or minute or hour depending on where you look). eBay knows which bid was earlier and that bid will be on top and wins the tie.
Whichever bid was timestamped by eBay first is the winner if there is a tie at the end of the auction.
If you are concerned about a possible tie, consider adding a few odd cents to your bid to lessen the chances of that happening if your amount is a round number.
