This is the same dynamic that exists on darknet markets. New sellers have to establish a reputation before they can gain traction and sell in large quantities.
Usually new sellers start with low prices, and then they raise prices after they have built up reputation.

Don't they escrow on dark net markets?

The escrow doesn't really help. You are putting your trust in the market administrator to arbitrate the dispute, and they have no idea or incentive on how to decide which side is right.
The best protection against fraud is a good rating/reputation system.
