It is called snipping and is part of the auction experience. Snipping is allowed by eBay. 

Here is eBay's link to their snipping policy:

https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/bidding/bid-sniping?id=4224&st=3&pos=1&query=Bid%20sniping&intent=s...

All you can do is set your bid to the highest amount that you are willing to pay for the item. If you loose it is because the winner/snipper was willing to pay a higher amount then you. It is what it is.

Hope this helps!

Bidders are allowed to bid from the first second of the auction to the last second. The highest bid wins, not the last bid.
