The problem is not there. I've seen in the last 12h at least one block with 30-ish fees.
The problem is that the transaction has 2 unconfirmed parents (45187fd8c235887fcf7afe93985c727d8dd2238be2a83817d681216d4fda37f8 = 10 sat/vbyte, dbea9c449d4ec4b3719cece14ea515430ea14f7f68ac757b07de98aa7965068f = 5.9 sat/vbyte) and both of them has at least one unconfirmed parents (659abc5c3cf1fa765720d68518767a0815df4859ff1369a89a9b13d65b36c0e0 = 10 sat/vbyte, +3 more) ... I went to a good number of levels back and I keep finding unconfirmed parents.
So it's going to take a good while until these will get confirmed, if ever.
Nailed it. Only way now to rush all of these is for the guy sending you the transaction to make sure he uses his next one linked similarly to pay for all his previous ones. CPFP.
The only thing I'd say here is he does also have a history going farther back of confirmed transactions all on more or less small but not unusually small sat/byte fees so he's probably just happy to wait the mempool slug out, while paying on from unconfirmed inputs. Probably what I'd do since I trust the network that much;)
I'd just wait it out and ship once confirmed.
i just found out that my wallet is custodial since i had never heard that therm i had to search a little, but its one of the few trustful sites that offers such a service in my country. What i could notice is that the payer alleged that he is not able to boost that fee even after i offered him some money but now with the mempool space site i could find that the tx allows RBF...
You better need a noncustadial wallet. Electrum is a good option.

I did not check those parent transactions and it seems this 5.9 sat/B will take ages to get confirmed means all the child transactions are useless with whatever higher fee they have. Hopefully howjow2 wil not have bitter experience.
@howjow2, have you shipped the gold you sold yet? If not then wait until you get at least one confirmation. It's safer.
Honestly im quite pessimist atm, even though he had a history of low fee transactios, like mentioned, i did not see any that got canceled, do they get cleared? and if any of you guys are curious in the case, we are lacking contact from the payer rn also im in contact with at least other 3 guys involved in the case, we are running a dispute on the gaming forum due to the fact the buyer was a very trusted guy who has been on the market for quite some time and has had a history with high ammount trades, apparently what happened this time is that even though my ammount wasnt that high, a few other dudes handed him about 15k usd in "ingame currency" and he got ambitious. Anyways i'll just move on, lesson was learned at least, im extremely thankful for all the precious information you guys shared with me, its helping me to prove he is a bad person and wont be able to do business with anyone else in that forum!!
