Steam market hold not going away even with mobile authenticator!
Does anyone know how to get rid of the need for holds when putting items for sale on the community market? I have downloaded the app and even confirm the listings from the app, but they are still put on 15 day hold! What's going on? It's really anoying if you are trying to sell things because you have to guess what the price of an item will be 15 DAYS ahead!

If anyone can help, I would be super duper grateful :D

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.
