If you use escrow there is no need for trust history or a rating system for buyers and sellers. The basic assumption of escrow is that you don't trust your counterparty and he or she doesn't trust you, but you both trust the escrow agent.
Having a trust history is still valuable as it is a method of punishing participants that burden the escrow agent.
