Hi, I gifted a game to my friend this steam sale but his gf also gifted him the same game. So he declined my gift and accepted his gf's gift.

The problem now is I asked steam for a refund back in June 30, it's already July 18. Does refunds really take this long?

Is the ticket still open?

That is good, but strange.
Maybe add to that ticket a new message, asking about its status.

Weird thing about is that I can't send or reply on the ticket.

If a game gift gets rejected its automatically refunded to the buyer.
Its usually a instant refund to the payment method used to buy the game.
Check that you not already got the money back for the gift.
Its an automated process with no manual refund request required.

Not sure what that means. Is there no button?
Was there no reply, and it was closed?

Thing is I used an E-Wallet but I requested Steam to refund me through Steam Wallet instead.

I never received the refund in my E-Wallet nor in my Steam Wallet.

You shouldn't post your account name any place online. You should delete that image and edit out the account name.
