AirPods 3rd Generation case wont wirelessly charge

I purchased brand new AirPods 3rd generation from Best Buy yesterday and the case won’t charge on my Apple MagSafe charger. I returned them and got a new pair and it’s the same thing. The charger will charge an older pair of 3rd gen that I have no problem but don’t do anything when I place the new set on it. I’ve tried resetting and nothing works. It will charge with the lightning charger cable that it came with but I prefer wireless charging. Any tips?

Issue with charging the left side of the AirPods Hey there, I got AirPods 3rd generation for more than a year now. In the last couple of days I have problem with charging the left side of the AirPods, it seems like it's always trying to connect to my MacBook m3 pro or iPhone 15 pro max. I did try to clean the case and the AirPod, without success. Right now I could make it charge when I disabled the Bluetooth on all of the connected devices and took out the right sided AirPod. Any advice? I live at Europe without an Apple Store to go there to let them check. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
