A friendly and a good wallet always warns you if you get an error for pasting an address to its sending option and its always an error because there's no character like comma in any btc address as what you have done accidentally just make sure you will double check and much better if you triple check the pasted address

zebpay?

never heard of it.
and by the sounds of their shoddy error correction and lack of notifications.. i think no one should use it.. you never know what other basic checks they are missing.

might be best to try some of the better known mobile wallets,
https://www.bitcoin.com/choose-your-wallet?category=mobile
just stay away from
Money controlled by a third party
and look for
Control over your money
that way you have access to the private keys as this is the main important thing.
It is for indians only https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1387725.0

You should use the official Bitcoin Wallet Android app. Just write Bitcoin on the search tab in Play Store and it will come up first. It will warn you if it is not a valid adress and wont let you send your Bitcoins. It is ok that you got your Bitcoins though, but I prefer the official wallets.
Thanks I will try it
next time before you copy just ask again, because a "," could be another important letter "mM" "kK" "lL" (EU keyboard)

It couldn't be an "l" because that's not a valid base58 character.



I got shocked when the receipient informed me that he didn't receive the coins even after 1 hour.
I logged in back and see the transaction failed and my coins were back in my wallet.
I realized my mistake, removed comma from address and sent coin again.

When you say 'logged in' I hope you mean to your computer and not some stupid bitcoin holding service like Coinbase.com or blockchain.info. How convenient of them to hang onto those pesky bitcoins until they decide you don't need them anymore.

I meant logged in to my wallet i.e zebpay

Commas will be invalid. They simply are not recognisable by the nodes. A good wallet would not let you put those characters in, either.

This is why I use a ledger.


looking for a signature campaign, dm me for that

Also check something else before you just paste a address without looking. Their are some Malware that recognize, when you copied a Bitcoin address and then it replace that address with it's own address and you will not notice it before it is to late. It has happened with a lot of people already, so it seems to be quite common.

I only add this advice, because it looks like you might be a possible target, if you do not double check the content you posted. ^smile^

well it's a shocking experience for you when you had asked your friend whether hee had received bitcoin and he replied NO.
still I didn't had that experience and everytime i send and receive bitcoin I check the first and last 2 characters and just go through the address.
