We'll be using Escrow.com.

It's the most popular escrow service out there and I've used it lots of times to buy and sell domains/websites.

I've also used it to pay freelancers for services, so I think it's a good idea to use it for bitcoin buying as well.

Here's how it works:

1) Sign up for an Escrow.com account if you haven't by now

2) Let me know what your escrow.com email address is and I'll initiate the transaction

3) I will then fund the transaction and Escrow.com will let you know once they've received the payment

4) Once that happens, you send me the btc

5) After receiving the btc, I confirm through the Escrow.com platform and they release the funds to the seller

Escrow.com are huge, with over $3 billion in transactions and over a million users. Doesn't get any safer than that
