I've had this happen, and I don't acknowledge passive aggressive comments like that. If someone were to civilly come to me and ask for an explanation, then I might tell them I'm more into fair trades, and to go see my FAQ. (Which talks about trades being fair so there's no wiggle room) I do get asked a lot for trades when they really just want a commission...so it helps to have the FAQ handy.
Thing is I rarely, if ever, do trades or upload them when I do so I don't run into this often. But for someone who does, Id say simply tell them "This trade feels a bit one sided, thanks for asking though!"
Sometimes its best to be honest but not in a hurtful way. But there are those who will get upset no matter how you tell them no. This has also happened to me, and it's stressful to have to deal with, especially when they hound you for a year or so @_@.
