1. It's reasonable, but the other party could still say no, especially if they're the more established member. Someone with a Apr 09 reg date and four posts asked me to ship 1st for a PS2 I was selling... true story
2. Yes, and this can work for or against you. You may not get full buyer protection, and people have reversed transactions before.
3. There's no "list" of people available to escrow, no. If neither party knows a reputable person here then it's unlikely you will get an escrow (but not impossible).
4. I suppose they could, but it doesn't hurt to make it worth their while even if they don't.
