Trade Restrictions With 2FA

[BasedMango]

I am incredibly frustrated as to why I have a 3 day trade restriction on items I have purchased from the shop. I have had 2FA on my steam account for over 6 YEARS and have already spent hundreds on the game. What more could I possibly do to not have a trade restriction? If there is any way someone could help me out and remove my restriction, or at least explain how I can go about removing the 3 day trade restriction, It would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I understand these restrictions are to prevent botting + RMT but the fact that I have to wait 3 days to trade an item every time I buy one is just straight up unacceptable if I already have 2FA and should be a trusted account. Like what is even the point of 2FA if I’m still going to be restricted after spending hundreds of dollars.

March 24 Weekly Update

Last week we communicated some upcoming adjustments to honing materials, new events, and the start of Competitive Proving Grounds Season 1. These all arrive in this week’s update, releasing on March 24! Find the release notes here.

In order to make your account trusted you will need to have performed a purchase(s) for at least $5, where sometimes Steam will require a period of 30 days to have passed from the date of the purchase. You will also need to set up the [Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator]

Please note it may still take several hours for your account to become ‘Trusted’ after activating two-factor authentication for the first time and up 30 days depending on Steam’s clear time.
