I believe money shouldn't be involved.
Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.
All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.
Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.
Wouldn't the second part require a trusted means to verify that a given profile actually sold you the promised thing, as well as some trusted means (two-party signing, maybe) to announce that a payment actually took place?
