It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Its just a third party member who holds the funds, until both sides agree.

Heres a perfect example:

Just like the person said above, its usually a trusted member like John K.

Who holds the funds, based on the agreements etc. Then funds are released with the okay sign with the buyer.
