Why are my sell listings on hold?
I recently changed my phone and with it the steam ticket, but I'm pretty sure the steam guard is still active so yeah.. Maybe it's a new steam "feature" I just didn't know about since my last sale was quite a bit of time ago

thanks in advice and sorry for my crappy english

That's why. To recently.
if it's all because I changed my phone, when will I be able to sell my items without holds?

You can transferr the mobile authenticator to the new phone, if needed, and then you only get a couple of days hold. If you disable it, you get a trading and market restriction of 15 days.

"Can I transfer my authenticator to my new phone?"

Yes, you can.

To transfer your authenticator to a new phone, you'll need access to the phone number associated with your account (so we can send you a text message to confirm it's you).

From the Steam Mobile app on your new device, try to log into your account. When the app asks for your authenticator code, select "Please help, I no longer have access to my Mobile Authenticator codes." Follow the steps the app provides and you can either transfer your authenticator to the new device or remove it from the previous device.

After transferring the authenticator, any new trades or market listings will be held for a couple of days to protect your items in case your authenticator is ever transferred by a malicious person. See our Trade Holds FAQ for more information about trade holds.
I have done everything on the new phone and I have the token, but my only question is when will the hold go off? And I don't mean the hold on sales I posted today, I know when it goes off. My question is when am I going to be able to instantly sell items. Prices change and it's kinda hard to predict it. Also if it's the 15 days you were talking about, sorry. I'm still having troubles with reading english stuff so yeah..

There is a difference between trade holds and trading and market restrictions. They are not the same thing.

First, did you disable the mobile authenticator on the old phone ?

OR

Did you transferr the mobile authenticator to the new phone instead ?

You would have an email saying it was disabled, if so.
my old phone turned itself on and never went back to life again so I just transfered it I guess.
I do have the same number so they just sent me a message and everything went easily

Did you verified your email?

If you can still actually use the market, then you do not have a trading and market restriction. You just seem to have transferred it then.

I posted the information on that above. Do you not get a message in the market when you make a listing telling you how long the holds will be ?

If you did transferr it actually, the holds are only a "couple of days".
yes, my email is verified and that's the message they sent me on email and I did what they asked me to

An SMS code has been sent to your phone to remove or replace the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator on your account.

If this is you, enter the SMS code into the Steam dialog or mobile device that is requesting it.
If you did not perform this action, please follow the link below to lock your account and submit a request for assistance.

the holds are for 2 days, but will they ever be gone? I want to be able to use the market as I was able to before...

That is how the FAQ above says it is done. So it seems you did transferr it then. So, your trade holds should be a "couple of days."
but the holds will end forever in a couple of days or they will all last for a couple of days?



I'm really sorry for wasting your time, I'm just... eh

Yes, they will be gone and you will be able to instantly trade as before. I suggest you wait that "couple of days" and then you should not have holds anymore.
