    why is my listing still active if ebay knows I have accepted an offer?
                     

    I don't know why since buyer has four days to pay but my listing has stayed active since I accepted the offer.  What if somebody else now wants to buy the item but it's sold to another buyer who I am waiting to pay for it? I get the feeling it's going to all come down on ME but I don't know how to handle this since it seems kind of glitchy and I can;t find a fix for it.  Anybody?

    Hi @sparkleyhappythings 

     

    eBay now lets the item remain active until the Offer is paid for ... someone could come along and pay the list price before your customer with the accepted offer pays for the item ... you then ship to the customer who paid the list price.

    So in basic terms, the first person to pay gets the item.
