Again, no it was not
Ended of auction is not and never has been 'on the minute'
They are 'to the second'
Why ask if you are unwilling to accept factual answers?
You were not the high bidder at the end of the auction which is why you did not win and that is all there is too it
Go into any currently running auction for anything and click on the bidding
At the top it will show end time being in hours:minutes:seconds remaining
Simply how it works
Nothing dodgy about it
Can you imagine if it was to the minute
Think about it
You'd have several people all putting in a bid at the last 'minute' and everyone would cancel each other out
