Checked out how? PM Trades should be ignored and there's no way for him to enforce others sending first.
 
Nicholsanddimes im pretty sure is trying to scam. He is saying that he won't trade unless I send first...Has 0% feedback and claims he has 7+ darkrais -.-

There is always tje chance that he does have 7 Darkrais, but it seems fishy to me. Especially how he only wants Shiny Catcher, one of the most expensive cards in Dark Explorers. And how do you het 5 Staff Tropical Beach? That seemed off as well. And why does he only list the most expensive cards in the format? Seems odd to me. I have been ripped, and the guy claimed to have 8 Magnezone Prime.
 
Doesn't matter about his list at all, what should be the biggest red flag is that he is refusing to send first. Ref rule should always, ALWAYS be followed. You have 8 positive refs with no negative references. He should send first. I would.
 
Is Darknezz a good trader? He made me an offer that had $40 on my side and $70 on his and he has most of my wants. He only has 1 ref and he's from the Netherlands. Seems kind of fishy to me. He has a list, but none of my wants listed.

I would be very cautious with that then. I wouldnt trade more than a few $ worht of cards with someone that has 1 ref.
If it was someone trusted with over 50+ refs then id consider it.

You should ask if he would send first, because it seems fishy. Or, only trade for a few cards worth a few dollars, and send with proof, like DC or something. And, save all PMs from him. Trust me, I have been ripped before, I know what I'm doing. I'll look into it,
 
i dont know anything about your trade, but probably he has different values. Also i think some people are too lazy to edit their threads.

Do you think I should do it?

As a rule of thumb, I would strongly suggest against doing big trades (especially those that seem to be lopsided in your favor) with people with so few refs-when I was at 0, I did not trade more than 10 bucks of value with anyone under 10 positives and nothing over 30 with anyone under 20. I can say I've done 40ish trades here and have never been ripped following that rule. However, it does mean I missed out on what seemed to be good trades by playing it safely. So while I would discourage you against it, I also admit this is my personal style and I am just super cautious.

Thats exactly what I did as well. Its better to be safe than sorry. Once you get 30+ refs id trade with anyone since they will msot likely have to send first.
 
Is Madchamp a Good trader?
i waited like 3-4 weeks now i didn't made an trade with him but he is the Middleman of the trade does that mean he's a part of the trade?
so can i give him a negative ref and the main trader too?

i dont know if he is a good trader. but if i buy cards from NA, it takes up to 7 weeks to get them. I think you should wait a bit longer. if you dont get anything after 2-3 weeks i would give him a negative red

Why did you use a middle man? I see no need for it.

Ace-In a case like this it would be the mods who decide who gets the negative ref.
 
@ace
hmm if you say it like that it is possible then i hope i get my cards
@evil Psyduck
now i made a good trade with a 2 ref trader when i was a o ref trader because it was a good and fair trade we used a middleman in case it went wrong
so he made an offer to use madchamp a middleman
because he a 30+ trader he seems to be trusted
