What the address you sent the coins to? Does it start with a 1 or a 3?

The crypto address I sent from starts with qqc. The receiving address from my electrum wallet I sent it to starts with a 1.

OK, if its a 1 then you're safe. copy the address you sent it tp and paste it here https://explorer.bitcoin.com. you should see the balance.

Should I create a wallet with this site?  Do I request the full amount or the amount minus the fees?

I entered the receiving address but it shows a 0 balance. It is possible I sent it to a different address. I am new to all of this. I know I generated an address from electrum but I am not sure I saved it correctly. I found the transaction on BTC.com by entering the crypto address I sent it from and it shows up there but I don't understand how to read the page to find out the address I sent it to.

I looked up the crypto address it was sent from on the link you gave me and it shows up there too. Again I don't know how to read the page but it says there are 4 inputs and 2 outputs on the 5th of September. 1 of the outputs is for fees the other is  the balance less the fees but I cant tell where they were output to.

You can post the receiving address so we could check, there's no way we can help without it.

# Problems recovering BCH accidentally sent to BTC address

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-09-23)

I am one of those people who transferred BCH from bitcoinpurser.com into my electrum wallet that only takes BTC. I have read several articles and have installed and created an elctroncash wallet. I can see that the two have successfully synchronized but on both the transaction still shows as pending. I originally transferred the BCH on September 5.
