The serial number should be a series of letters and numbers. It is possible you typed something incorrectly, or they could be counterfeit. What is typed on the back of the case beneath the hinge? It should read;

The serial number of the AirPods is located inside the top cover. Also, I've seen another post about counterfeit AirPods in the last week or so. Do you see a white button on the back of the case? There should also be printing on the back of the case just below the chrome hinge.


Otherwise, attach a couple of pics of the devices and case.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is a reason that what you bought was prices significantly below the normal retail price. That may be because they are counterfeit, or stolen, or for some other reason... You take a risk when you choose to purchase from an unauthorized source.

I am not sure where you are referring to when you say "under the two" for the AirPods. The model number is in the cover and is only printed on one side. The other side has the serial number. There is nothing printed under, as that is where the AirPods make contact with the charging circuit. Please explain more, or provide a photo of what you are referring to.
