Trade will be held for: 15 days
- Peny has not been using the Mobile Authenticator for 7 days
Learn more about how to remove the need for a trade hold


so when I was about to trade, I got this notification

I activated mobile auth now (I think it was already but it wasnt used) and I still get that msg

do I need to wait days to trade without any restriction?

I've found this:

Quote
Trade requests between players have a period of time before they have to wait before they can be sent to the other player steam restricts users who don't use the steam mobile Authenticator longer period of time actually 7 to 15 days. People who do use the mobile authenticator get the shorter time span of 3 days.

but I set up my mobile auth, still getting that msg. Am I forced to do a trade that holds my trade for 15 days to actually do instant trades after that?

Are you getting it with every trade or is it with a particular user only?

Could it be that the other trader doesn't have authenticator enabled, both users need it enabled to be able to shorten the hold period to 3 days.

Peace!

dont know about the new stuff and or if the edited the rules
if you didnt have it active like fully
i think it would take a week for the trades
so count 7 days from the moment you activated it and it should go away

You have to wait 15 days from when you added your mobile Authenticator. That timer ONLY starts when the auth is added.

Removing & re-adding the authenticator AT ANY POINT IN TIME stops & resets this wait. If you wait the 15 days and are thinking "cool, I don't need this here now," and remove the authenticator, the restrictions will be put back on your account.
