All trades created within the first 7 days from when you enabled the Mobile Authenticator will have 15 day holds on them.

I do not have any active trading, I just wanna deposit on a site and still show me 15 days hold.

Same reason. Why? Because that is a trade.

I would avoid any 3rd party site as well. They will all eventually scam you.

Everytime you activate and deactive Steam Guard you will receive a 7 days cooldown.
Just wait till the cooldown is gone.

Incorrect. Disabling or removing the Mobile Authenticator will result in a 15 day restriction on the account.

Only the inital enabling will result in a hold until the 7 days is up.

I'm confused now, say once I've activated the mobile steam guard, I get a 7 days cooldown, and in order to make the instant trade I have to wait for the 7 days?

i`ve activated the steam guard on Sunday ( 28/01/2018 ) - i must the wait 7 days ( 04/02/2018 ) ?

after you put steam guard on your phone you must wait 7 days for it to do anything...

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.

Hi, I've had steam guard on my phone for 7 days now and I went to do a trade and it still tells me I will have a 15 day hold period? is this because I still have some old trades waiting to happen due to the previous restriction?

Existing holds won't cause new trades to be held.
Most common cause is people waiting 6 days 20 hours from enabling and assuming that's close enough. If you enabled the mobile authenticator at 7:04pm, you must wait until 7:04pm, attempts to trade at 7:03pm(or earlier) will trigger a hold.
