I think the woman understands how ebay auctions work & is is well aware she could be outbid at the last second, it's one of the reasons she was up at 1.15am to watch the end of the auction.
If that's a concern for the buyer, then they haven't put in a proxy bid for the highest amount that they're willing to pay for the item. They could have done that before going to bed and found out whether they won the item when they got up in the morning.
Some people seem to think that eBay auctions are like "hammer" auctions and the last bid always wins. It doesn't always turn out that way.
