I'm simply wondering whether there's an option for me to bypass this waiting process because what i've read, it seems the market page allows an option to do bypass the waiting period. I'm just trying to figure out how. I can wait, it's just that I want to sell one of my items in order to grab a game that's on a sale. It's not a problem for me to wait, I just want to know if that option is actually available or if I misinterpreted what I've read.

"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.
EDIT...

Mobile Authenticator Removed
Removing a Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator reduces your account security. To help protect your items, you will be unable to trade or use the Community Market for 15 days. In the case your account was compromised, this cooldown gives you time to recover your account and reinstate your security without losing your items.

Restrictions for the security of your account and items would be pointless if they could just be bypassed. That means that the malicious person in such a case could also bypass them, making them pointless.
I see where I went wrong, thanks for clearing it up.
