If you are purchasing an item over $1,000, is there any safeguards?

If purchasing an item over $1,000, is there any way to hold the money in escrow until you receive the item?

I believe there is an Escrow process in the Help section.

What I would do is check out the sellers feedback and I would also

pay for the Item with a Credit Card for extra Protection.
