You need to build up rep and trust over time. Doing a few sales or trades wont prove much.

GPG is a way to encrypt messages. http://www.gnupg.org/

Not saying you are going to rip people off, but what would stop you from just taking the money and running? There's a reason people pay an escrow fee, for security. Would you trust some random guy with your hard earned money? Or would you rather give your money to a verified, trusted person for a small fee?

I think you have things backwards. First you establish your identity and reputation, then you offer to act as an escrow agent. If you want to start doing escrows, start by putting a gpg signed statement of your identity into your OP.

what's a gpg signed statement

see, you have some learning to do before anybody will trust you as an escrow. Start here
alright, i have put up some sales so hopefully if i sell something, i will gain some trust!
