  If I'm not mistaken, ebay offers a service which acts as a third-party:
The seller sends the product to this service, and the buyer sends the
money. When both things have been sent, the service proceeds with the
transaction. If either the product or the money never arrives, the other
good gets returned.

  Of course this service is not free.
