Transfer it correctly with the same number, the holds are 2 days.

Remove or disable it because it is not the same number, 15 day restriction.

There is a difference in holds and restrictions. It's important to understand the difference.

If the mobile auth. is newly added, there is a 7 day restriction where you will have trade holds that last for up to 15 days, during this 7 day period. This is just an example to show the difference between holds and restrictions.

As the good 999999999 said above, you can transfer it instead, and the holds will be only a "couple of days" (2).

I always wondered why they say "couple" instead of 2. I can only guess that is because it is possible that they will end sooner than 2 days ? Not sure, though. Thanks.

Correct. Mine just ended after 27 hours.

Even though it did state it would be held for 2 days in the yellow warning banner when I traded yesterday.

Holds are honestly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I like to sell items fast and I got this revolution case but can't even sell it because I can't predict the price in 2 days man.
