@geniusbuysusa The process of accepted offers moving to pending status on the listing's offers management page is something eBay has been rolling out. It was announced in the Summer Seller Update as the latest change by eBay to cut down on non-payers.
While offers are in pending status, the item is available for anybody else to purchase until the buyer pays. eBay is trying to eliminate the inconvenience to sellers when buyers lose interest after an item ends so the seller does not have to start from scratch and lose interested buyers when they relist.
If the buyer does not pay within a certain amount of time, the offer will expire and be removed from the pending section. If the buyer pays then it will become an official transaction on your orders page. In the meantime, any buyer can purchase at full price or make an offer.
Unfortunately, a lot of buyers and sellers are saying buyers aren't receiving notice their counter-offers were accepted. Some sellers have started sending messages letting buyers know they accepted their counter-offers.
