Escrow is when you use a trusted third party to hold the BTC.  Once payment is received in escrow, then the seller can send whatever is being sold.  Once goods are received and all is ok, you tell the escrow holder to release payment to the seller.  If there is a problem with the goods received, or shipping, or anything the money isn't gone.  You will pay a fee to the person doing the escrow for this service.  Tends to stop scammers since legitimate sellers are fine with doing an escrow, but scammers most certainly aren't!
