what is the best way for a noob to sell something and not get ripped off?

[paradigmflux]

using a third party for escrow really only works if I am able to trust that the escrow person is in fact somebody who will not help in rip me off, lol.
are there any actual like, companies that offer that sort of thing?  this would be for BTC / high-value physical items items (with me being the one sending the actual item)

Use a trusted escrower from the forums here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0
