The STEAM application on my computer told me to download the mobile application to remove the trade/market holds. This was my first time using the STEAM market, so I thought that sounded great! It worked the moment I activated the Authenticator, allowing me to sell and trade cards. Two days later, my account suddenly has the holds again. I thought I’d simply refresh the Authenticator and it would fix it. I was horribly mistaken. Adding the Mobile Authentication to your account does NOTHING. It does NOT remove trade holds consistently and it extremely frustrating to try and understand. After authenticating for the second time, it not only didn’t release my trade hold, but removed my ability to use the Community Market for 15 DAYS!! I’ll forget all about my trades and badges I was crafting by then! There’s no button to prove that it was you that made the trade, you just he to suffer in silence for 15 days. THIS IS AN AWFUL SYSTEM! If you’re downloading this app just for the authentication, its more worth it to just buy the cards straight up or farm gems than go through sell/trade side of the Community Market. 0/10 experience. All I wanted was badges for my forite games. P.S. Same thing happened to my friends in the past. NOT JUST ME! VALVE, FIX THIS!! All we need is a “I made that transaction” button! That’s it!! No more holding our stuff for 15 days!
