Trade hold - how to remove it?

[SpiritOfSausage]

Sup,

I've tried over and over to get rid of the trade hold. So I'm trying to sell a csgo skin, but after mobile authenticator confirmation it still says i have 15 days dealy on it. What causes this delay? Never had any problems with the account or mobile authentication.

Thanks!

SteamGuard must be active for a least 15 days to be able to use the market.
The Steam Mobile Authenticator must be active for at least seven full consecutive days to be able to trade or list items without a hold.

Some cheap items like trading cards can be listed without authorization.

There is no possible way to lift a trade hold/restriction. If you have just added a Mobile Authenticator to your account, you will need to wait out the 7 day hold. Like Cathulhu stated, a minimum of half a month (15 days, or 2 weeks and 1 day) is required to trade once you first activate Steam Guard.

Steam Support cannot aid in the removal of a trade restriction.

This is weird, because I've had the mobile authenticator like half a year. Doesn't make any sense to me.

E: Not sure if I actually had to use the authenticator to log in to Steam, so I did it now first time - I believe. However, if it requires the mobile authentication on each log in, It should have worked, since I haven't logged out from steam in ages.

What color is the shield under Account Security on this page?
https://store.steampowered.com/account/

Does this page give any error messages?

The shield is green and the page isn't giving any error messages, it says that my account is allowed to trade.

E: I've sent a ticket now, so I guess I'll just have to wait now. Any tips to solve this are welcome.

Can't remember, but I guess it was something about logging in to a new pc/freshly installed OS. Something like that.

No. All Market purchases have cooldowns on them if you read the item description for them.

What about steam guard If it's on hold for 15 days does It also hold trade offers?

Yes it does.

I had steam guard on my account before and I log into steam one day and it says that I don’t have the steam guard anymore so I had to reput it on. Anyone know why my steam guard randomly wasn’t on my account?
