Using escrow should cover any doubt that buyers have. It would also be useful to post time stamped pictures of the items that you are selling to prove that you actually have the items in hand.
When selling to trusted members you're ultimately increasing the trust on your end (in terms of having a reputable buyer). That's not necessarily needed as the Escrow covers your end too so you could accept orders from new-member buyers too (although that's at your discretion).
In terms of trust, anyone can give it as long as it is well founded. Following the transactions you make, buyers can leave you trust detailing the transaction as well as total amount risked etc.

Cheers for your input AT101ET.
I was thinking that I could provide tracking numbers for the escrow and buyer to enter into the delivery website to track the order, my only concern is that, how do you prevent people from lying about what they received? I guess you can't really, which is why I want to deal with more trusted users.
I just signed up with Bitrated.com, do you know if that is one of the more popular sites in regards to reputation/trust? Ideally I would just use the most popular trust based site from the beginning so I have a catalogue of trades marked on that one site.
It is really cool to see so many escrow available in the bitcoin market, and some free at that, but I guess in some cases you get what you pay for
