Mentor1 week agoHello @blackyfredi ,
Thanks a lot for your post!
Since you can prove delivery to your buyer's address, arranging a refund is not necessary.
To still help your buyer receive the shipment, I recommend that you file a tracing request with DHL and inform your buyer about the respective response.
Thanks for the tag, @oskar_der_wikinger ! 😽
Best regards

OP5 days agoHello Verena, I filed an investigation with DHL and it turned out here that the shipment was delivered, the buyer is being very insulting and is insulting me, he wants to report me to eBay, cancel the purchase and get his money back. What should I do now?

who was it delivered to then (this was also asked elsewhere)?
if it says "recipient / personally," and your buyer disputes that, you should file a report against unknown persons and then let the buyer know so he can prepare for possibly being questioned about the matter

Mentor1 week agoHey @blackyfredi
You should get on DHL right away and ask for proof of delivery. File a complaint that your buyer claims the parcel was not delivered.
Best wishes from the Baltic Sea

Mentor1 week ago@blackyfredi you sent it with tracking and proof of delivery, that's a good start. The buyer did receive the DHL parcel tracking number and was able to see the status the whole time, right?
What does it say there: to recipient, neighbor, drop-off location, where was it delivered?
blackyfredi
OP1 week agoCorrect, the buyer received the tracking information and was able to track it as well. In the DHL status it says shipment received, and today I saw that he opened a case and claims he didn't receive the shipment and wants his money back
