Hello,
I supposed to receive 500USD.
Please check this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/2508f218db9663057bc863f6d986eb84fe8a96f31c61e681847c327dcfce503a
Estimated BTC Transacted $ 45.32
In my blockchain it shows:
Transaction Confirmed
Value when Received: $45.09
When i press to show scripts it shows that that 462.15$ is unspent? What does it mean?

The easy, new user friendly explanation is:
When you create a transaction, you use an input and you create outputs. It's impossible to use part of an input.
So in this case, one input of 0.199BTC was used, two outputs (one of 0.01771605 BTC and one of 0.18114157BTC) were generated.
Usually, a transaction with two outputs means that the person sending BTC only needed part of the input, so one of the outputs goes to the receiver, the other one goes to a change address generated by the sender's wallet.
It is impossible for blockchain.info to know wether this is true at all, and if it's true, it's impossible to know which output went to the receiver and which output went to the change address.... So what do they do: they guess
In your case, they guessed wrong... They guessed the big output goes to the sender's change address, and the small one goes to the receiver.
Blockchain.info is just a private company... They are not the owner of bitcoin, nor the blockchain technology. The fact they mis-guessed has no impact whatsoever.
