Bitcoin sent, confirmed on my end – never received on the other end

I made a purchase and paid using Bitcoin. They sent me a link which took me to a coinbase processor. I got the wallet address and sent the money from my Electrum Wallet. I have 157 confirmations, Electrum shows it’s there and complete, but the receiver says they had never received it. I have been waiting a day for them to send me the wallet address they use so I can see if I sent it to the correct place.

Someone told me that if BTC is not claimed within 30 days it automatically goes back to where it came from. I do not know if that is true since someone said: “once it’s gone it’s gone”. But I got some back that exact way. I just want to know where it got screwed up.

If I know the money will come back, then I don’t care if they help or not. It’s their loss. I would have used it to pay for my purchase.

So where could the money be if they say they no longer use bitcoin? isn’t it still in that wallet? They just have to get it right?

I hope this is not too convoluted.
