Accepted offer but sale is still pending

I accepted an offer for an item and when I do that it normally moves to sold with payment pending.  When I look under offers it says payment pending but is still listed for sale on EBay???

How do I fix this???

@ba6791c5pj  This is eBay's new slightly confusing way of avoiding unpaid items on offers from buyers.  It doesn't happen all of the time which I think makes it MORE confusing.

I experienced this for the first time on a buyer initiated offer.  I accepted an offer then the system said I SENT an offer.   So I went back and clicked on ACCEPT again and it moved the item to my sold awaiting payment section.   I have no idea if my method was a one off fluke though.  

Let me know if clicking on accept again makes the item move to your sold awaiting payment section.

That’s exactly what it did when I tried to accept it again.  Its like it is stuck in limbo. 
This was a first for me.

@ba6791c5pj   You can message your buyer and say something like this>

I wanted to let you know that I accepted your offer.  The listing will remain active until paid for, I wanted to make sure you didn't miss out on this good deal in case someone else comes along and buys it.
