「まで」の情報
The adverbial particle まで is used in the same way as many other adverbial particles, in that it is highlighting that the statement that comes after it as important in some way. However, unlike our first look at まで, which discussed its use as 'until', this use of まで has the nuance of 'even', or 'to the extent'.
Although using まで as 'even' may seem different to 'until', they are essentially the same thing in Japanese. This is because まで always means '(A) まで, (B)', where (A) is the 'limitation/extent', and (B) is the 'noteworthy factor'. This 'noteworthy factor' will usually be a descriptive word/phrase, such as a verb, adjective, or explanation.
Fun Fact
The も particle is sometimes grouped together with まで, when the meaning is 'even'. This just adds emphasis to the fact that the event is somewhat surprising, or that the result is satisfying.

Like @jelly1, I also got confused by the 〜て form used in the examples.
I got confused by the example: “お金を払ってまでテストを受けたくない” Which uses 払う in its て-form so I searched a the www a bit and came to the conclusion: Using the dictionary form in the above example (お金を払うまでテストを受けたくない) would be translated to “I don’t want to take the test until I payed for it” which fits “Verb + まで” (N5 Lesson 8 6/13) but not までも. As this is new grammar for me, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but I think it should be “Verb[て] まで”
- How to use まで ( = made) – Maggie Sensei (A reference included here on bunpro) also states “5. even […] (3) Vて ( verb te-form) + まで ( = made): to do something even doing something/ to go so far as ~”

I’ve also submitted the same report, but never heard back. I also think they meant to put て instead of る.

Possibly a silly question, but one of the examples in the explanation is
隣街の店舗まで行ったけど、そこでもお目当てのグッズは売っていなかった。
I even went to the store in the next town, but even there, the merchandise I was looking for wasn’t being sold.I was surprised to see まで being translated in the English as “even” rather than “as far as” or “to the extent of”. Given the placement of まで, attaching it to 隣街の店舗 rather than a nominalised for of “went”, doesn’t it modify/limit the store, rather than the act of going. Ergo, wouldn’t a more accurate translation be
I went to even the store in the next town, but even there, the merchandise I was looking for wasn’t being sold.
or, more fluently,
I went as far as the store in the next town, but even there, the merchandise I was looking for wasn’t being sold.
