Answer
One of the silly little quirks of the Ebay system is that when you don't use the ebay system to make a payment, it will still show oweing.  However there is nothing in Ebay which will hold this against you.  You have the item, the seller knows you have the item, and all is well.  

Consider it a glitch in the system.  You can either move on and forget about it, or ask the seller if they can use their "MYEBAY" account to go in and mark this item paid.  

I personally would just ignore it.
