I mistyped an email address to which i sent money. I inadvertently added an extra 'm' to ,com. So, instead of .com, it says .comm.
I tried to cancel the transaction, but it's more than 30 minutes.
The recipient has not received anything from me.
I need help to cancel or fix the email address so the recipient can get his money.

Would help if you said what is next to the transaction ie pending or unclaimed with or without a cancel option OR completed?

Hi @AltoSaxJazzCat.
I understand your concern about the unclaimed payment sent to wrong email address. I would suggest you to check this article for detailed information how the payment works.
Here’s how to cancel an unclaimed payment:
- Click Activity near the top of the page.
- Find the transaction you want to cancel.
- Click Cancel on your unclaimed transaction.
- Click Cancel Payment.
You can only cancel an unclaimed payment that has a Cancel link next to it under "Order status/Actions."
I hope this information helps.
