Lost Package - eBay International Standard Delivery - $1000

On June 1, I sold a Garmin watch for just under $1,000 to an international buyer in South Africa.

When purchasing a shipping label through eBay, I was given the option to use eBay International Standard Delivery. It was a little cheaper than the other options and appeared to offer similar services and protections, so I went with it. The only thing I noticed at the time was that it didn't allow me to purchase additional insurance, which was something I would have wanted on a package of this value.

After purchasing the label, I shipped the package via USPS to Asendia's facility in Bell, CA, with the label they provided.

According to the tracking, the package was received by Asendia and was dispatched from their Bell, CA facility on June 10. After that, it appears to have been transferred to PostNord. The last tracking update I can find is from June 11, when PostNord shows the package departing their sorting hub in Los Angeles, CA (see tracking screenshots).

I've also checked the tracking number through the Universal Postal Union Track & Trace system, and it only shows the same June 11 PostNord update.

At this point, it's been about 20 days since the last tracking update, and the buyer has now opened an INR claim.

For the best chance of either resolving the claim without having to issue a refund, receiving full compensation if the package ends up being lost, or otherwise resolving the situation without losing money, what would you recommend I do next?

TIA.

EDIT: This was NOT shipped through eBay's International Shipping Program and their hub. See the AI breakdown between the differences in the comments.

Recommendations for Climbing Backpack

Looking for a new climbing backpack primarily for gym use, with the occasional outdoor trip (1–2 mile approach max). I mainly need enough space for a few pairs of shoes, a harness, chalk, and other essentials (snacks).

I'd prefer something where everything can stay organized completely inside (intended compartments or loops) instead of a big empty compartment. Doesn't need to be huge (under 25L is the goal).

If anyone has recommendations, I'd appreciate them. TIA!

Unable to Log Into WA Business

Just got a new phone and had to transfer all my WhatsApp chats. I installed the regular WhatsApp first and transferred my data (or at least some of it) to the new phone. After that, I downloaded WhatsApp Business, but I can't sign into it. Every time I try, I get a message saying "an error has occurred".

I've already contacted customer support, but they've been useless. Anyone know how to fix this?

Sourcing Consumer Electronics

For the past two years, I’ve been reselling and wholesaling phones and tablets in the US, as well as to other wholesalers overseas (HK and Dubai). It worked for a while, but I kept running into the same issues (poorly graded devices, bad ESNs, inconsistent quality, etc). Because of that, I slowly shifted more into consumer electronics and accessories.

I’ve also been selling on eBay for a little over 5 years now. Originally it was just old things from around the house, but having the account let me sell electronics there also. I’ve had success doing that, and I still source some inventory from my old phone suppliers. However, most of them don’t really focus on consumer electronics, so supply is pretty inconsistent.

I’m not looking for anyone to give away their exact sources, but I’d really appreciate any general advice on how to find reliable suppliers for consumer electronics and build a relationship with them.

Right now I mainly sell Apple and Samsung accessories, Meta products, Sony, Bose, Sonos, DJI, Google Nest, Alexa, Ecobee, Oura Ring, RingConn, SSDs, RAM, other PC components, Anker, and a bunch of similar products.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
