I cba take med for less than 2k fg trade, and I got scammed recently by 2006 user so have 2 questions to act better next time,
If a user is older than me and I don't feel safe to trade first, can I refuse to pay first?
If he insist can I just cancel the whole deal?

When unsure about a trade I would suggest to use a mediator:
How To Request A Mediator

The agreement on who goes first has to be made between you and the user you are trading with.
The safest way of trading will always be a mediator.

If you can not find an agreement you can cancel the deal at any time.

(I thought that the rules say that newer user have to pay first b4)

It is entirely up to you whether you want to go first in a trade or use a mediator, the "2/3" rule is not an official rule.

However I do recommend using a mediator for trades as response time for a mediator request is usually less than 5 minutes and the process isn't complicated thus it's a good idea to request for one in-case you encounter a "who goes first" dispute during the trade.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any additional questions regarding mediations and trades.

The 2/3 rule is no official forum or trade rule. It's a user made guideline some people like to follow but it is not mandatory to follow this if you feel unsafe about a trade.
Good luck!
