Whenever I try to trade with somebody it keeps on giving me those little monsters with the error saying I have to wait 15 days to trade

[irfan]

Before when I didn't have it enabled yet it would still at least let me trade but with a 15 day trade hold, why not now? And how come I have to wait 15? Wasn't it 7?

[Cathulhu]

SteamGuard MUST be enabled to be able to trade, that requirement has been in place for a long time now.

[irfan]

Huh? I know that. I'm just saying I accidentally disabled it then reinstalled it.

[Cathulhu]

How can you accidentally disable it when it requires actual confirmation?
And yes, the 15 day thing was always there.

[irfan]

I know it was always there. I'm saying, when I didn't have it enabled before, all it would give me is a 15 day trade hold. But now, I have to wait 15 days before actually trading???? I thought it was 7 days for trading, and 15 days for using the market?

[Cathulhu]

No. It was always 15 days that SteamGuard must be active to be able to trade or use the market.

OP are you talking about the mobile authenticator?

[irfan]

Yes

[999999999]

All trades (and market listings) created within the first 7 days since the moment you enabled the Mobile Authenticator will still have 15 day holds on them.

Steam Guard Email and the Mobile Authenticator are 2 things. I just wanted to know which one you were talking about.
