Never trade ammo because they will shoot you in the back. When trading, its best if you bring a group. That way you can annilate them if they try to attack.

Ok here a few things what I do to trade safely.

1. First check out with whom your writing with, has he a reputation in this forum, is he even on the fair traderslist? If not stay alert, read very carefully what and how hes writing often you can simply see that he behave suspicious.
   
2. Choose the location. Sounds simple but there are a couple of things you should keep in mind. If you pick a indoor loction, for example a coffee-shop or a farm, you cant place someone to have your back. Dont let you talk into a crowded area neither a well populated server.
   
3. Have someone who gives you backup. If possible take a friend with you which lays in the woods and has his finger on the trigger. Best would be more then one so you can be pretty sure that you wont get killed by a group.
   
4. Stay in contact. Most potential betrayers wont let you add them in steam, skype or so on. So this could also one more indicator if they are going to kill you or not.
   
5. If you have no other choice but to go alone to a trade. Crap a tent, place it on another server, best would be a empty one, place it near to the location where the trade will be. Unload all your stuff into the tent and just go with the needed items on the other server. This way you wont lose your hole equip.
   
6. Try to be the first on the server and keep an eye on the playerslist. If there are a couple of people joining while he comes go to red alert ,-)
   

And here is the 100% sure method to be safe. Run a own server, use antihax or a general whitelist.

Add the Guest to the whitelist, this way only he can connect to the server. Have a mate as backup, if you get killed your mate kills the thief and you delete him from the whitelist. This way you get his equip and yours for sure.

After more than ten successful trades I think i can say Im somehow experienced and if you stick to this tips you are on the safe side.

This is a two statements and a reason.
