The buyer has a problem regardless of the method of payment-- what if  
the seller never sends the goods? Why not use an escrow service:

1. Buyer pays escrow service.
2. Seller ships item to buyer.
3. Buyer tells escrow service to pay.
4. Escrow service pays seller.

I've used http://www.iescrow.com, but they appear to be out of  
business, or at least the web site's not active anymore :-) eBay  
recommends:

www.escrow.com
www.tradesecure.com.au/ebay
www.escrow-europa.com
