Cant trade please help

[Som Ting Wong]

Hi guys,
i want to trade with a steam level up bot (csgo key for card sets). the bot tells me this: "Please make sure you don't have a trade hold!". What does that mean and how can i fix this problem. I authorized steam on my mobile with steam guard aswell an in my inbox i cant find anything. google researches didnt worked out aswell

Maybe it's just a friendly reminder? Or is it saying it won't work because of this?

Here is my trade link just for testing: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=11866177&token=iHL8JD1b Just open it and see if you get holds if you would trade with me. (don't send any trades please)

If you open this and it doesn't show you any warnings about holds then you don't have holds.
This might also show if you have holds: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWhyCantITrade

thank you for your fast help. so i can start a trade with you but i think the website you both linked me to clarified it. If i cant get access to the community market i cant trade is that right? And if i want to trade with csgo keys where do i find them? i coould find them as i tried to start a trade with you Forcen

market and trading is separate, sometimes you get blocked from both for the same reason but they don't affect each other really.

What do you mean, can't find them? Are they in your inventory? Make sure you are in the right inventory and then use the search thing.

And don't send me trades.

There is no such thing as 7 day trade holds. There are 7 day trade restrictions, though.

It's important to understand the difference between holds and restrictions.

" Trade will be held for: 15 days
- 𝓚𝓱𝓪𝓷 has not been using the Mobile Authenticator for 7 days "

Wait 7 days before trading after you enable the mobile app. All trades made within the first 7 days will still have the 15 day holds on them.
