Square Trade is the third party that can hold the funds until the buyer receives the item, upon which time they release the funds to the seller. I've never used this service, I rarely see it offered on auctions as it is optional for the seller to include it.

Wise words from Jackal, "Never send anything until the money is in your hands."
Always be careful with paypal too, apparantly if someone transfers funds to your paypal account they then have the option to reverse the transaction. So you receive the funds, ship the item, then they transfer the funds back. So you're cluster fvcked - have no item, no money, are still liable for all the fees, and paypal won't do shit. Seriously, read their user agreement, it's glorious.
Some nice horror stories here:
