Thanks for the response. The receiver said I sent them over $3000. So I would assume it was in their bitcoin wallet. When I look it up in in my transaction log, says Received: 0.498 BTC.
Unless you post the link to that specific transaction , it looks like you might have used a distributed ledger wallet service like Xapo where funds are generally sent in groups of transactions whereby you will notice several transactions in groups.
Another way you can make sure your transaction is correct is by looking into the transaction tree visualization:
