Ebay Classified - how do I mark as SOLD?

I've advertised a caravan on Ebay, using the Classified format for the first time. Worked brilliantly - many thanks for the heads-up on this forum - and I have just been offered the full asking price via a message/phone call.

What do I do now? Obviously I want to cancel the ad and mark as 'sold', but can't see any way of doing that. Do I have to get the buyer to place a bid for the full asking price and then accept it? I'm not sure how it works.

Anyone enlighten me?

:confused:

    I like this method, because then if the buyer turns out to be a time-waster (don't think so, but you never know) the advert is still current and I can just remove the SOLD text.

    Thanks NotQuiteNorbert, this is what I will do.
