valve said you cannot refund a gift, if it has already been redeemed. so i guess, if the guy didn't activate it (only put it in his library), he might be able to refund it.

You buy, so he must to give it to you, you ask for refound, and then buy a new copy i think.

It's pending because the game is not activated. You have to add it to your library, then request a refund. If you already have it and played it for some unfathomable reason, then you are stuck with it.
Although why would anyone be cruel enough to gift that game to anyone is beyond me.

Do you sure about this?
When I tried to refund It say this
Refund:
Jun 13, 2015 - Watch_Dogs Standard (gift)
Refund to my Steam Wallet
This refund will remove the following items from ♥XiaoNing♥:
Watch_Dogs Standard
And When I clicked submit. It show me
We were unable to submit your refund request
Sorry! Your purchase is still pending and we're unable to process a refund until the purchase is complete.

he is certainly not sure about that, because it's not true.
EDIT: did you just now purchase it? maybe you just have to wait an hour or two.

I'm wondering if it's because you have had the game sent back to you and it now shows in your inventory as 'Watch_Dogs Standard (gift)' so Steam now sees it as a gift copy not one you purchased yourself.

purchase is pending simple means..that Valve has not the money yet..so just wait some working days..till its processed.

why do you say that? did you just make it up and thought, this might be how it is handled? because valve says that:
Refunds on Gifts
We are unable to offer refunds for gifts after they have been redeemed by the recipient.
so gifts are refundable, if they are not redeemed. i would say, if they are not in your library, they are not redeemed. anyway, there is no reason to activate it for a refund...

i am not 100% sure, but i think redeeming a game means adding it to your library, and if he didn't do that,. you're good to go. you basically gave evidence yourself:
This refund will remove the following items from ♥XiaoNing♥:
why should it say that, if it is not possible at all?
i would suggest you tell your friend to let it in his inventory, and you just try it again a few times in the next hours.

Maybe they consider the purchase still pending because the game isn't active on your account, but we have no way to be sure if support keeps replying with vague premade messages like that one...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, me neither, I was trying to understand Valve's mind...
.-.
I hope it's just some kind of momentary bug and you will get your refund.

so if i buy a game as gift and let it in my inventory for a year, the purchase is still pending? i don't think so. ;)
