Inquiry About Refunding

when you refund games, let's say 3. if you refund them at different times BEFORE one of them gets refunded, do they refund separately? like, you refund one, few hours later you refund another, next day you refund the last one, they're all within refund times and they're all pending, do those different games worth of money go into your steam wallet separately or even if they're multiple hours apart, do the steam support team wait to give you all the steam credit from all 3 games at once?

Similar to how a restaurant does with mains for big tables, if one meal comes out, they wait for the rest or a few more meals to come out before they bring them to the table. Really curious because I bought a game for my friends and they had technical issues we didn't bother to fix so we just refunded all of them, but they all took separate times to refund them to me because at first, we didn't know how to refund gifts and then they both took different amounts of time to refund them, so now I don't know whether or not I'll get them back sooner or later.

You'll get the money back, that's all we know.

If it's with regards to the current sale: Do not rely on it making it while the sale is ongoing. The tickets alone may take longer.

You are overthinking it.

Support will treat each refund as it's own request. They aren't going to hold them in case you might have another one. They'll action on the request as soon as it comes up in their queue. Money from each refund will return to you in its own time. Could be the money all drops at once or three separate times. Depends on when the refunds are submitted and where they fall in the queue.

Each separate refund once approved will have its own pending timer for the Steam wallet. The last approved will be the only timer you see in the client though.
