What is a "scam"?
So there have been a few situations for me that seemed normal, but turned out that I was a "scammer" all along. Here are the situations:
1. I was in a trade server, saying in chat that I'm buying a Name Tag. Some guy asked me to trade. I accepted. He added Name Tag. I asked him what he wanted. He replied "i dunno maybe a rec or something". I accepted a trade, it seemed fair enough to me. So we made the trade. Then the chat and the microphones came all shouting and laughing how I scammed someone because Name Tag is worth 1.33-1.66 (Source: http://backpack.tf/pricelist/full as of 2013-01-21). The guy seemed not to mind it and leaved the server after about 10-20 minutes.
2. A guy was selling Strange Shotgun. I traded him. He said for me to offer. I gave him a Key. He was OK. We made a trade. Turns out I "scammed" another person because the Strange Shotgun is worth 4-4.33 (Source: http://backpack.tf/pricelist/full as of 2013-01-21). Then the I traded started to called me a scammer, judged about my sexuality and said he was having pee-pee friction pleasure with my mother. I then left the server of his annoyance.
3. Some guy was selling a key for 3 Refined. Ofcourse, I bought the key and the rants started how I was a scammer, because a Key is worth 3.33-3.55 (Source: http://backpack.tf/pricelist/full as of 2013-01-21) and that I will be reported to SteamRep, tough the person I traded really did not care as far as I can tell.

My question is, are any of these situations "scammy"?
Another question is, are bargain trades. (e.g. bought a key for 2.66 Refined) called scamms?

Thanks.
