Items on hold in the market, but I have the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator?

[zumbo1000]

I'm trying to sell some cards on the market, but the items still have the 15-day hold, despite the fact that I have the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator active and have confirmed the listings in the Steam Android app. My understanding was that if I had the authenticator active that there wouldn't be holds placed on the items I'm trying to sell. Is the correct, and if so what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

It must be activated for a full 7 days to get rid of any holds.

Thanks guys, that's it, I wasn't aware of that.

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.

Most stupid argument. I don't need to be babysitted and don't want it. I want to sell my item now and not wait.
