Trading and Market Restrictions
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1047-edfm-2932
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.

I have the same problem, guess Valve doesn't seem to like me very much...
I'm not catering to their Services, so at this point, i'm just taking it as they
are not allowing me to Trade...
Because I have a 15 Day Wait Period, & I think the Trades Expire after
17 Days, this only gives me a total of like 1 Day to actually Accept Trades
Between 2 People, where as not one, but both People have to Accept...
If 1 or the other is not Online on that 1 Day, your Trade will Expire without
anything you can do about it...
So yes, i'm just taking it as I can't Trade on STEAM...
To Fix this you can setup STEAM Guard with your Phone?
If I read that right, or i'm not understanding why i'm getting a 15 Day
Wait Period...
But if you want, you can do that, I don't want Any form of Authentication,
or Guard, or anything Password wise Attached to my Phone...
Simple Password & Log-In with Manual Log-In's are perfectly fine for me,
I don't need 10 different ways to sign-in, or even 1 time sign-ins...
Good Luck... I can't Trade that is fine, screw the Trading then...
No mobile authenticator means trade holds. Only other way is trading with one year friends on Steam, as I said above, then the holds are only one day.
Steam Trade and Market Holds

What your account has is a trading and market restriction. What that causes for your trades are called trade holds. Holds and restrictions are two completely different things.
