[Discussion] the chargeback advice in here is 3 years out of date
the chargeback advice in here is 3 years out of date. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Pulling the figures out of the title: 3 years.

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.
network and address, checked twice, before anything else

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 payments go astray.

Agreed — and the hash is the receipt. Nothing else is.
Which networks did they list as accepted?
Pasted rather than typed the address, then checked the first and last six characters. Habit now.
Yes — gas is the network’s, not the supplier’s, and conflating them produces a lot of unfair complaints.
nobody legitimate needs the payment in the next ten minutes
Disagree — a quote expiry is normal when a rate is being held. Pressure to decide immediately is a different thing.
Did the address you sent to match the one you were given, character for character?
