Note that

1) enabling SteamGuard for the first time triggers a 15 day trade hole
2) enabligh the SMA ttriggers a 7 day trade hold

After enabling steam guard. You will need to wait a given amount of days before you can acces the market.

You need steam guard enabled to trade on market --> triggers a 15 day wait before you can use it

You need mobile authenticator enabled to trade instantly --> triggers a 7 day wait before you can use it

Mobile Authenticator Added

A Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator provides additional security for your account. Adding an authenticator does not immediately remove existing restrictions. Trades created within the first 7 days of adding the authenticator will still have up to a 15 day trade hold. This allows your items to still be protected and gives you time to recover your account if a malicious actor were to ever add an authenticator to your account.

If your account was already protected by Steam Guard via email, you will have no new restrictions from using trading or the Community Market. If your account was not protected by Steam Guard via email or mobile app, you will be restricted from using trading and the Community Market for 15 days because Steam Guard has been recently enabled.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1047-edfm-2932#nosteamguard

Steam Guard Not Enabled

We require Steam Guard (via email or mobile authenticator) to be enabled for 15 days to help protect your items and Steam Wallet funds from being misused by someone who may have illicitly obtained your password. If you have not had Steam Guard enabled for 15 days, you will be unable to trade or use the Community Market. Accounts that currently have Steam Guard disabled will be unable to trade and use the Community Market.

Steam Guard Only Recently Enabled

If you have recently enabled Steam Guard via email on your account, you will be unable to use the Community Market for the 15 days after Steam Guard was enabled. Removing Steam Guard or disabling and re-enabling Steam Guard will also trigger this restriction.

If you have been friends with the person you are trading with for over a year, the holds are only one day.

What is a trade hold?

A trade hold is a period of time after a trade is accepted by both parties where the items traded are held by Steam before they are delivered. Trade holds last up to 15 days. If you're trading items with a friend, and you've been friends for more than 1 year, the hold is 1 day.

[The Giving One]

If you cancel any trades, you will get yet another restriction. I suggest you read the page I keep linking to you, please, as well as the message you get when you try to use the market. It should be pretty self-explanatory.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1047-edfm-2932#itemhold

Trade or Market Hold

An item hold won't prevent your account from trading or using the Community Market, but it will delay items being transferred to other accounts if you aren't able to protect your account with a Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator.

Trade and market holds protect items if a user's account is compromised. Even if a hijacker manages to access your account, you can prevent them from stealing your items by canceling any transactions that are on hold.

Recently Cancelled An Accepted Trade

If you choose to cancel any of your accepted trades that are in a trade hold, your account will be restricted from trading for 7 days for your protection.
