No, you can find reports of all of them stealing items. Do not login to any 3rd party website with your Steam account.

ALL 3rd party websites are use at your own risk.

You seem like an intelligent and rational person based on your posts. This is extremely refreshing in these "I was scammed" posts.

While some trading sites might intend to do legitimate business, many do not. Some may do a certain degree of honest business while skimming off the top from choice victims. Valve also disapproves of these sites and they go against the TOS. They've sent waves of cease and desist orders to site owners before. There's a bit of a conspiracy theory that Valve actually allows the sites to operate because they technically indirectly profit from it. Whether that's true or not is debatable, but Valve is the only one who can stop them, and they haven't so far, so who knows.

It's really safer to just assume that all third party trading sites are scams and avoid them entirely. Keep all your Steam trading activity on Steam and Steam alone. Trust nobody.
