My Item Got Trade locked Even With The Authenticator

[~Randichod~]

I have had the mobile authenticator on for 10 days now, mainly because I didn't know you were supposed to do it for trading. But even after the allocated time (7 days) I traded with a friend and the item was trade locked for 7 days. What should I do to avoid this in the future?

was the trade put on hold or was the item itself given a cooldown preventing it from being traded again?

trade hold is different from the cooldown. the cooldown cannot be avoided, it is automatic. the trade hold requires both accounts to have the mobile app on them.

my item got put on cooldown. If that can't be avoided then thats a shame. I thought the 7 day cooldown or "trade lock" was the same thing.

Valve changed the system for CS:GO, now CS2 items back in 2018...

Adjustments to maps and trade
2018.03.29 -

Today’s update includes a host of adjustments to Nuke, Dust II, and Canals, so jump into a match and see what’s new!

Along with those map updates, we’re also making an adjustment to CS:GO item trading, described below.

Revisiting Trade
Steam trading was created to allow customers to easily exchange items with each other, and each day we see thousands of customers using Steam Trading in this way. Recently we’ve been looking into ways to reduce some negative unintended uses of trading in CS:GO (such as fraud and scams), with the goal of preserving trade between players.

Starting today, CS:GO items received in trade will have the same seven-day trade cooldown as items purchased in-game or via the Steam Community Market.

Over time, third-parties have developed services that use automated Steam accounts to mimic players and make use of Steam’s trading functionality. Unfortunately, some of these third party services have become a vector for fraud or scams. Unlike players, these services rely on the ability to trade each item very frequently. In contrast, a given item moves between actual players no more than once a week in the vast majority of cases.

We want to make sure that Steam item trading is a useful feature that continues to provide customers with the freedom to give and receive items as they wish. However, we realize today’s change may also be disruptive to some players. We’ll continue to evaluate trading policies as time goes on, and if you have any feedback or concerns about the change you can email us at CSGOTeamFeedback [at] valvesoftware.com.
