Trade Holds can either be 1 day (24 hours) or 15 days.

There is absolutely no way you have a 72 hour trade hold anymore; which makes me wonder if you're all that accurate about the time you activated your authenticator either.

Make sure you have the green shield here that says [Protected by Steam Mobile Authenticator]

I was asking for the date, not whether or not you see it.

But if it's less than 7 days (secondswise) then that's why you get the holds.

If you wait out the 7 days in its fullest, you should not have holds. If you still have issues on your third party website after that, I'd contact them.
