Trade between two accounts that I own
Hi there,
I have a second Steam account on which I purchased PUBG. On my main account I still had some money left over and I wanted to buy some skins for it. I bought the skins on my main account and it told me I had to wait 7 days before I could trade them to my secondary account. Now that the 7 days have passed, I made the trade but now I have to wait 14 more days because the goods are on hold. Can anything be done about this? It's pretty ridiculous that I have to wait this long to transfer some skins between two accounts that I own and both are in my name...

Thanks in advance!

No. Wait it out.

I added steam guard to my secondary account to remove this... but because my previous trade had to be canceled, now I have a 7 days cooldown period :( . Can anything be done about this please?

That's wrong, you can add a steam guard to both accounts to remove the hold period.

The mobile authenticator has to be enabled for 7 days before you can trade without holds. Additionally, because you canceled your previous trade, now you have to wait out the cooldown for that, as Steam assumes that you canceled it due to someone gaining access to your account and attempting to trade away your items.

Get steam mobile autheticator for your account, it will fully activate within 7 days and then after the account that has the autheticator is able to trade instantly (but you have to confirm via the mobile appl each time).

And here we see why those phishing countermeasures are important.

That would be the mobile authenticator. And you would be required to have it enabled for full 7 days. As you have to wait that out, you can now also have to wait out the hold.

Alright then, thanks for all your input. I'll have to wait some more I guess...
