Why do we have to wait a week to trade items bought from the market?
Seriously, it's the worst decision Valve has taken in years.

No no no, norby, that isn't the problem. I don't have trade holds, because I have a mobile authenticator. I'm complaining about having to wait an entire week to trade keys you bought from the market or Mann Co. store. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm thinking it was a way to prevent carders from unloading any items that buy with stolen credit cards, and with 7 days of a hold, they can probably chargeback. I dunno, sounds somewhat legit to me.

What Toughsox said. You have to look at the bigger picture and you'll understand. Both trade holds and market holds are meant to prevent hijackers and scammers from making a quick profit using stolen items over Steam. Sadly this comes with an inconvenience to regular users but it was a necessary step because the problem was getting out of hand.
