You need to have used the mobile auth for more than 7 days to not have the market listing hold.

Seems like the authenticator has strict requirements you haven't met yet and even when they're clearly stated you're gobsmacked beyond comprehension.

I think you should probably considering reading some of the knowledge base about the authenticator, the market and trading. I feel there's lots of information in there you're going to be equally shocked by when you get in over your head.

It's explained here also, along with all the other restrictions and triggers and durations :

Is it not the case that this very part of the message contains a link to the page I provided above or a similar page, such as the one explaining trade and market holds ?

I just move my mobile authenticator to my other phone to add funds on my steam wallet. I succesfully verified that it was me. How can i remove this restriction. Do I need to transferred back my mobile authenticator to my old phone? Do I need to add funds?

Can anyone help. I need to use the market today

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
