Just to add what RapTar posted, since your account is a Newbie, you are required to send first if the buyer is trusted (i.e. have been actively dealing with little problems).
On the other hand if the buyer is another Newbie, always go for an escrow. It's not worth losing any item for a fast deal.

Check the board for trading Goods- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0
The process is simple. You can display/offer your service in that board. If someone is interested, you can sell your works for Bitcoin here. Since you are newbie, no one will go first of course. You either have to go first if the other party is trusted enough or the best is- using escrow. Escrow will hold the BTC; upon receiving the ordered items, buyer will release the escrow fund.

Always try to use forum PM system, otherwise, you may end up being scammed by impersonator if you use other channel for communication.

I am a trained artist from the united states. I am interested in selling some my fine art and custom work.
My normal sale is more or less this:
1. somebody wants work done/purchased
2. I send pics or samples
3. receive half of money
4. I complete piece or send it
5. receive last half of pay
Reading up on things it seems like there is a lot to know and look out for. I was wondering if anybody could give me a heads up on what a transaction like this should look like or what I might want to look out for before I go posting goods? I know enough to not give my private key, I have a small amount of Bitcoin in a wallet but I am unfamiliar with any escrow services - if that helps place my limited knowledge.
any help would be appreciated
