Where to start
Start with a well-known trader
There are many well-known, established traders within the My Little Pony
community. While the occasional established trader does turn bad, it's
extremely uncommon. They are generally people with friends online and
reputations which have built up over a number of years.
Because of this, they have more to lose by turning bad.
I'm not saying that new people are more suspect. I'm just saying
that if you're nervous about trading, an established person is a good
place to start.
If someone has a great trader reputation, they may well ask you to send
first. Do not be insulted by this. It's perfectly normal for someone with
a great rep to receive the ponies first from a person with no rep.
And remember. There's a reason why they have a good reputation. It's
generally because they're lovely, trustworthy people.
People to start with
If you're looking for somewhere to start, try asking at one of the MLP
boards. People there can advise you on how to make a safe trade, and who
you might like to make a trade with!
And, don't forget, check those references. Again and again.
