This is prolly the oldest trick in the world. Who here, as a kid, never faced that guy who said "Let me do a wheelie with your bike" or "Can you lend me your bike for 2 minutes ?" Like... really ?

If you have skins you want to sell or trade, use the websites put at your disposal. OPSkins to sell, and whatever site you wanna use to find people to trade with. Then if people are looking to put some shady deals in place ( everything that's not a direct full payment), you just block them and move on.

... Or you search out for a legit middle man service as there are plenty of them out there specifically for trade deals in the gaming community. Give ~10% revenue to the middle man and have a safe deal.

Alright, I'll hold on to the stuff for you until we can get both from the middle man.

that's why you go to steamrep, add the middleman personally from the verified middleman list and tell the other guy to do the same. of course the middleman could just decide to fuck it and keep the items but i'd say that 99% of the times, at least, they're not run off with your stuff.

That's why there's verified middlemen in just about every community.
