You can now refund and remove games from your Steam account from mass transactions

Noticed this today, was an issue when it was brought up in the refund threads of olde and the recent removal thread.

I was pissing around, looking at Steam Support, and found something interesting:

You can now remove or refund a single game you bought alongside others.

For example, I purchased:

Purchased: Dec 28, 2015 @ 5:09pm
Antichamber - CDN$ 5.49
Oniken Steam Store and Retail Key - CDN$ 0.54
Aaru's Awakening - CDN$ 1.69
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut - CDN$ 3.39
Hexcells Complete Pack - CDN$ 2.99
Hand Of Fate - CDN$ 9.99
Subtotal CDN$ 96.44
Discount CDN$ 72.35 (75%)
Total CDN$ 24.09

Let's say, for some bizzare, inhumane reason, I wanted to refund Hand of Fate (great game by the way). Before this, I would have to refund or remove every single one of those purchased titles in that transaction if I was unhappy with one product.

Now, you can remove games one by one. It simply asks you which product from the purchase you're having issues with, and allows you to select to single product to refund or remove it.

No, you still cannot remove or refund single titles obtained from bundles, as they have a separate store listing as a bundle upon purchase.

I'm glad to see this feature hit, and hopefully it will help people feel safer making bigger purchases (in amounts of titles), and reduce abuse for refunding. (Play a game for two hours, decide you don't want it, refund your entire cart to your Visa)

Lock if old, but I didn't see anything lately posted about this.
 
Wow I didn't even know that was an issue previously. Good thing too, seeing as I just had to do that myself.

To clarify, what Valve's done is added support for partial refunds to non-Steam Wallet payment methods. It's been possible from the off to selectively refund provided you were okay with receiving the money as Steam Wallet credit.
 
Yeah, this has been available since at least Christmas. I didn't even know it wasn't supported before, so it was a shock to me when people said it wasn't possible after it had already worked for me, ha-ha.
 
I had no idea this wasn't in before.

Probably would've handled purchase transactions differently during the Thanksgiving sale if I knew this.
