You has not been using the Mobile Authenticator for 7 days or has turned off trade confirmations
WTF IS THIS!?
The system says that i have not been using Mobile Authentication but the fact that i have downloaded steam app an had link my steam account and used Mobile Authentication it still says that my item will be held up for 15 days, 15DAYS ??? BECAUSE I NEVER USE THE MOBILE AUTHENTICATION? WTF STEAM? I USE THIS SH*T EVERY F*ING DAY

i turned it on and waited 15 days to use market and trade to my friend, every time i logging into steam i have to use steam app ,but it still said that you has not been using the Mobile Authenticator for 7 days and my item will be held up for 15 days more
15 days to the very second. So if it's been 14 days and 17 hours, it's still not 15 days. If this the case, check back tomorrow.

Any trades or Market listings created before a Mobile Authenticator is added, or during the first 7 days after it is added, will be held for 15 days. Trades or Market listings created more than 7 days after a Mobile Authenticator is added will not be held by Steam. Adding a Mobile Authenticator will not reduce the length of existing item holds.

It is 7 days to the second no more no less.

Are you talking about Steam Guard or the Mobile Authenticator? They are different.
