Valve Protects Steam Users With "Trade Holds"
-----------Trade holding will start on December 9.
In an order to prevent Steam scammers, Valve is introducing "trade holds," which will insert a three-day waiting period between the conclusion of a trade deal and its actual execution.
"If a user trading away items hasn't had their account protected by a Mobile Authenticator for the past 7 days, items delivery will be delayed by Steam for up to 3 days. This provides the user time to cancel the trade and any other that are pending," the Steam Support site explains. "Canceling trades that are pending or in a trade hold will begin a trading cooldown on your account to prevent any further unauthorized attempts to trade away items."
The Counter-Strike Blog says Steam trade holds will go into effect on December 9. To encourage people to start using the Mobile Authenticator, Valve will be offering discounts of five to 33 percent on purchases from the Steam Community Market for anyone with a Mobile Authenticator until December 16.
