if the funds were never received then the transaction was incomplete and as such you shouldn’t pay any gas (funds) for that transaction. The said transfer funds should have returned to the senders wallet, which means you can send them again to a different wallet address if you wish, you only pay what is known as gas for the transfer if it completes, so you would pay for second transaction.
The age of a wallet address has no significance on the transaction costs.
i hope this answers your question, if not and you need further clarity please get back to me and I will endeavour to explain further
