AirPods not Showing in List of Items:

What location are you referring to by "list of items"?

Go to: Settings > Bluetooth > View your connected devices.


AirPods and Find My:

Go here, and see if they are shown in Find My: https://www.icloud.com/find/. If not seen, then it is not paired to any device. Note that AirPods cannot be confined to their own device in Find My, as they are not assigned their own IP Address. So, if it is connected to a device, then you'll see it at the most-recent location that that device was connected to the Internet.
