I've supported their auctions the last 3-4 years but this has left a bad stench and no one can really tell me anything.

Did you get a confirmation that you had actually "won" the item? If not, it sounds like a "tied" bid. If there were two or more bidders who bid the same amount, obviously only one of the bidders can actually get that exact bid amount and it sounds like the "floor" got the bid amount first.
If you got a confirmation that you won, then most likely a clerical error by whoever was executing the bid. No auctioneer wants to miss a bid intentionally.
