    This guy added me for a trade and said that he would report me for a complete misunderstanding.
    I tried to explain him many, many times that he misunderstood what I said, and yet, he kept calling me scammer and said that I would be reported.

    there is a posibility that this guy is just a troll, my question is, what to do if I get marked and reported? I got screenshots of the whole conversation if needed.
    the thing is, I want to prevent being reported and marked before it happens, can I do this?

    It is possible he is a scammer himself. Scammers often accuse the victims of scamming in order to pressure them into making a trade.

    Anyway, if you didn't do anything fraudulent, then you have nothing to worry about. If the user files a report against you then you can follow steps outlined here (depending on the situation): http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/getting-unconfirmed-reports-off-your-profile.132727/

    Keep those chat screenshots just in case.

    Thanks a lot for the reply.
    and just to let it clear(just saying)
    what happened was that i just told him to TELL ME what he wanted to offer for one of my knives(example: i'm offering my blablabla for your FT ST karambit blue steel.)
    wich is actually on csgo2x, but the page is down atm. and he kept understanding that i wanted him to send his items in an offer and accussed me of "fail attempt of scamming", even if i told him many, many times that i just wanted him to type the names to think about his offer. nothing else
