AirPods Pro Individual S/N Authentication

Hello! I bought an AirPods Pro (with MagSafe Case) 2 months ago and unfortunately I lost my R (Right) pod just days ago. As I began searching for options I figured going to second hand markets may be a good fit for me as I find official replacement too costly. Now as I authenticate my remaining devices (charging case, L AirPod) the charging case is shows up on the Apple website while the L AirPod doesn’t. This is a problem for me as there are no other way (at least to my knowledge at time of posting) of checking the authenticity of aftermarket Pods

Although AirPods (not the case) have markings on them to indicate Model #, L or R, or even sometimes serial numbers, Apple always goes off of the Charging Cases Serial Number when you view your devices online.

Seeing as you're looking for non-Apple Right AirPod replacements on purpose, there isn't much purpose of going to a store to verify your existing authentic Case and Pod that hasn't been lost. Your situation is very much unfortunately "you get what you pay for" or "buyer beware".

My opinion; Anyways...
