why does trade hold 15 days in my acc.? it should be 72 hr hold.

i don't understand i have set up steam email guard. then, few weeks later i set up the mobile guard and less than 7 days i disabled it. can someone explained it to me?

you disabled your steam guard. so any trade or transaction would be held for 15 days.

but i had enabled the steam email guard

[d1rect]

it still enabled

[GentleMan254 ∞]

disabling your steam guard = 15 days of trade hold. not sure about the "72 hours hold"

[GentleMan254 ∞]

you need your mobile steam guard not just your email

but i had enbaled my steam guard email until now before the phone guard was disabled.

that's mean i need to take my phone gurd on although i had removed it to remove the 15 days?

yeah unfornately you need your phone guard in order for this to work. having your email enabled only would be way too easy to hack into your account (both steam and email) and make any trades to other accounts. thats why steam holds it for 15 days if you have your email enabled only. this gives you a chance to cancel any trades you havent made and secure your account.

yup. you need your phone guard 24/7. you cant "disable" it. when you do, you get this trade hold for 15 days.

but can i removed the steam mobile guard after i had activated it for 7 days?

no. you must have it on (steam mobile guard for phone) for as long as you use your account/have your account/make any trades. the only time you really would disable your mobile steam authenticator (phone steam guard) is when you "sell" your account or when you no longer have access to the phone that has steam guard moible authenticator enabled on.

ok thanks bro, what about steam market hold will it be the same?

[GentleMan254 ∞]

steam market hold is usually different for every account. but normally it would be 7 days - 15 days for market. if you have your email authenticator enabled, it should only be 7 days as youre only missing your mobile authenticator. This im not too sure though as I got different times for the 2 times i switched my mobile authenticator to a new phone due to upgrade.
