how much of what we believe about gas fees actually comes from confirmations threads
how much of what we believe about gas fees actually comes from confirmations threads, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Some chains require a memo or destination tag to route funds to the right account. Omitting it on those chains is one of the more common ways…
The transaction hash is the canonical receipt: it is public, verifiable by either party, and it is what a support query should quote.
Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago. Nothing to be done. That is the lesson I paid for.
A test transaction costs one extra network fee and verifies the address, the network and the recipient’s crediting process before the main amount moves.
match the address character by character, or paste and verify

This is the check that prevents the only genuinely unrecoverable mistake in this thread.
Small fix — that is the network fee, not a supplier charge. The distinction matters for the complaint you are making.
escrow arrangements are rare and worth asking about
Do you have the transaction hash?
Nearly sent on the wrong network. The token symbol was identical and the address format was the only clue.
send a test amount first if the total is large
