Offer accepted but item still listed

[my_cherie_amour]

I accepted an offer on an item but it still shows up as in auction. Is there a glitch with eBay? If I go to pending its says waiting for payment.

Items show as active until its been physically paid for.

Thanks for speedy reply, never known items to still be active when item has sold with accepted offer. Is this the new norm?

An offer may have been accepted, but if its not been paid for it hasn't been sold has it?

No but they don't stay up for sale as a rule. If buyer doesn't pay by day 4 , I have to relist.
