    You cannot request a new trade while you are still in another trade session.

    I've marked him. In the future, especially for trades involving money, I highly recommend using a trusted middleman (and double-check to make sure it is the real one and not an impersonator). Even if he had sent the money, it is very easy for the person to charge it back later- then you're still out of a game.
    Thank you for the report! :)
