Item on hold in marketplace
So I downloaded the Steam App in order to confirm items I was selling through the market and was told that it would eliminate the need for items to be held by steam (up to 15 days). However, I sold the items through the Steam App on my mobile device and it is still holding 3 items for 15 days. Any ideas on how to remove the hold? I tried cancelling the sale, and reposting them and it seemed to work but now I see them on the items held section.

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.
