    I am a new trader.

    I am really not sure what to do at this point. A trusted middleman was involved in a trade, and I sent the middleman the items. Soon after I was kicked from the group chat by the buyer and the middleman went offline.

    I soon discovered this site, and realized that the buyer has been reported here before, but the middleman is in good standing.

    Should I contact the middleman?

    Look at your trade history - copy and paste the ID from that profile you traded to here.
