In addition, it is very important to keep the necessary crypto balance on your Coinbase wallet for the gas transaction fee/commission. The gas/transaction fee is approximately around ~$0.1 to $10 depending on blockchain congestion.
Always remember that you can only use the native token for the gas tax. For example, it is not possible to use the ERC20 version of MATIC to pay the gas tariff for the Polygon MATIC NFT transfer; You can only use the native version of the token.
To verify this transaction, you can use the blockchain chain explorer relevant to your NFT.
If the NFT is on Ethereum, use Etherscan; if it is Polygon, use Polygonscan.
Open the blockchain explorer and paste the transaction ID of this transfer. You can find the transaction ID (TxID) on Coinbase Wallet.
