This doesn't make sense to me??

I copied the below from an ebay auction. What I don't understand is:
1. There were no bids listed beyond "ramushka" bid until the last 5 sec. of the sell.
2. The bidder "bill-allen" placed his bid with 4 sec. to go in the sell, AND IT WAS ACCEPTED
3. The bidder "ktownfatcat" shows his bid(s) placed some 4+ hours earlier, yet they NEVER showed up in the bids until after the close of the sale??
4. Yes, I kept refreshing my screen
5. Yes, I know people can get in last min. bids, but how do you get in a last min. bid and show and earlier bid date than the actual time you bid??

Thanks

If you and another bidder placed the same bid amount, the earlier bid takes priority
