I think your issue will be resolved by the Binance support team, try contacting them and provide them with the information that proves you have done it. I used to be confused about using the wrong chain once, but it's not a problem, Binance is really safe and secure. But anyway, it is considered a valuable lesson for you when participating in this market.

Yes, that's true, and the Binance support team is an upper-middle market asset in the crypto market, and what is happening right now is not a fatal one that has lost its shib, and try to observe or deepen why this all happened, what happened could make you lose that shib, and try to exclude yourself from the Binance team again so that it doesn't happen again.

I think your tokens are not lost if you know the right settings, bep20 and erc20 networks works hand in hand, this means that your bep20 wallet address and erc20 wallet address are always the same if you import with the same private key, this is also to say that your bep20 and erc20 private keys are the same, I know this because I use bep20 and erc20 networks often.
But now where there will be a problem is if shib does not have a smart contract on bep20 network, then the only way to recover your shib tokens will be to contact binance support to see if there is any way they can help to recover your tokens, but know before hand that they aren't likely going to do it for free, you definitely will be charged a fee if its possible for them to recover the tokens for you.
Goodluck.

I actually get the SHIB on my BSC accout 

I read from above and thought that your shib will disappear but luckily it didn't happen. because erc and bep20 are on the same chain then you probably don't lose it but if you send Bitcoin or other altcoins on a different network then you can't get it back.

First of all, I had already configured the "smart chain" in my wallet even before my mistake, so my wallet already had a BNB account and some BNB-based coins.

What I do was check the transaction in BSCScan and then copy the contract of the coin that was moved (this was suggested on a document of binance academy previously shared in this thread).

It takes me time to discover that the contract of that coin was different than the contract offered by SHIB. I had already tried to place the SHIB contract in my "Smart Chain wallet - Add new Coin" option, but the coin was not found (which is logical since the original contract is ETH based).

When I put the contract of the coin that I get form the BSCScan website in my "smart Chain" wallet, then something like a SHIB version for BNB just showed up. I add it and my almost 7 million SHIB was there.

Of course, my SHIB is now on a BNB wallet, in order to claim them or do something I need to move to a ETH based wallet, but they are there... safe...

This is my explanation of what happened, I have probably misused some terminology due to my ignorance on the subject.

Next time you should be careful while transacting tokens and shitcoins, even the address may look same but it may comes from different blockchain but luckily you send the SHIB to metamask, if you send to any other exchanges then literally you will lose your coins because exchange say we already have this in our terms so we won't do any help and also this may taught you about why we need non custodial wallet for storing cryptos.

Thank you again for your support guys, and yes, I just learn a valuable lesson here.

I am just new in the amazing world and I want to learn as much as possible about it, so I will try to keep myself active on the forum.

Yes it is important to stay in this forum more because it is a helpful place to be concerning cryptocurrency learning. Read through others posts and comments and you will learn more and also contribute useful posts yourself too. And now that you have recovered your token and the issue is solved, you can lock this thread.
