aste: cancellation of last offer

Question

I often end up being outbid and in this way the bid amount goes up a lot, then at the very last second (I don't know how they do it) the highest bidder withdraws. Then I get the notification that I won because the last bidder withdrew, but all of this happens in about 2 minutes. I checked and there are always 2 bidders, me and another one who then withdraws at the last second, but in the process makes the bid amount rise improperly.

Does this only happen to me? What can I do to report this?

If the last bidder withdraws after the auction ends, you have no obligation to buy. You can accept or not accept the direct offer the seller is making you. https://www.ebay.it/help/selling/listings/selling-auctions/making-second-chance-offers?id=4142&st=3&pos=2&query=Fare%20un%27Offerta%20diretta&intent=proposta%20al%20secondo%20offerente&lucenceai=lucenceai&docId=HELP1067

If you believe the auction is rigged, you can report the seller to eBay .... https://www.ebay.it/help/buying/resolving-issues-sellers/segnala-un-problema-con-un-venditore?id=4022&st=3&pos=1&query=Segnala%20un%20problema%20con%20un%20venditore&intent=segnala%20ve&lucenceai=lucenceai&docId=HELP1299
