The winning bid can be the same as your bid but it was placed earlier than your bid and takes precedence over your bid.
ie: the winning bid was $50 but the other bidder had already bid $50 but the bid may only be up to $49, you bid $50 but the other bidder had already covered your bid.

I use Autionsniper and never put on more than I'm prepared to pay. That way I know I'll win or won't be upset if I loose.
