It depends what your "notification preferences" are set to. If you have a check mark by the box "Second Chance Offer notice, Allow sellers to send me offers through eBay for items that I bid on but did not win.
Note: Only purchases completed on eBay are covered by eBay services."
If the deal falls through with the other bidders ahead of you, or the seller has more of the same item for sale, you may get a second chance offer to buy it, but only if you have the boxed mentioned above checked.
It happened to me once on a pair of Koni shocks, and a friend of mine was second in line to win the auction(I was third). My friend did not have the boxed checked, so I was offered a chance to buy another set of shocks the seller had. I was surprised I received the offer, because I did not realize my preferences were set up for it.
