 I don't think he's trying to rip you off at all. The escrow service holds his money until he recieves your product, then they release the money to you. It brings a third party into it to make sure there isn't payment without shipment or vice versa.

EDIT: Just be sure you research the escrow service if it isn't the eBay one to make sure its legitimate.

EDIT 2: After browsing the site a bit, I'm suspicious. I'd suggest a different escrow service.

 A Google search for '"set-ltd" escrow' turns up only one hit, which is not relevant. I think that's pretty odd if they're a legitimate business.
