This means the file that Steam uses to remember the PC you're using has been tampered with or removed. This usually happens when you use system cleaner applications, delete cookies or re-install Steam.

All you can do is wait 7 days.

Trading and Market Restrictions
There are a few different reasons why you may be unable to trade or use the Market. The reason is typically shown when you try to initiate a trade or perform an action on the Marketplace.
Important:
Steam Support cannot modify trading or Steam Community Marketplace restrictions, regardless of the circumstances under which your account became restricted.

Types of Restrictions

Newly Authorized Device

If you are on a newly authorized device that has not been Steam Guarded for 7 days you will receive a 7 day restriction from trading and the Community Market. Any other devices that have been authorized for 7 days will be able to trade or use the Community Market.
Actions such as clearing your browser cookies, using a new browser, reinstalling Steam, and reformatting will trigger this cooldown.

Steam Guard Not Enabled

We require Steam Guard to be enabled for 15 days to help protect your items and Steam Wallet funds from being misused by someone who may have illicitly obtained your password. If you have not had Steam Guard enabled for 15 days, you will be unable to trade or use the market. Accounts that currently have Steam Guard disabled will be unable to trade.

Recent Password Reset

If you reset your password, you will be restricted from trading and the Community Market for 5 days. If your account has not had any activity for more than 2 months, these restrictions will apply for 30 days. We do this to help protect users who lose access to their email account. Note that this does not affect password changes, only password resets.

Newly Added Payment Method

Only items and games that are purchased with trusted payment methods can be traded immediately; otherwise there is a 7 day cool down before they can be traded. The Steam Community Market will also be unavailable during the cooldown. Any payment method that has been used on the account more than 7 days ago is considered trusted.

Purchase Limitations

Your account must have a successful purchase older than thirty days, but not older than a year in order to access the Marketplace. The purchase of wallet funds qualifies for this requirement. Retail CD key activations do not satisfy this requirement.

Current Trade or Community Ban

You also may be unable to trade or use the market if your account has been banned from trading by Steam Support. Depending on the severity of the violation, you may receive a temporary or permanent trade ban.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Trading

If a VAC Ban (for any game), cooldown or overwatch ban has been registered on your account, you will no longer have access to the CS:GO store, or be able to make trades for CS:GO items, and you will no longer receive item drops. You will still have access to your items that were acquired before the ban/cooldown.

This is usually the ne I find most oten applies when someone gets a one week restriction.

The wording "device" is somewhat misleading. Every piece of software is a "device" -- each browser on your system is its own "device" on each user account, and the Steam client is a "device" too. Due to various bugs in their account handling, however, the Steam client probably counts as one "device" across all user accounts on the system.

Thus, a single computer can count as quite a few different devices, all of which are separately authorized by Steamguard.
