Does Yahoo! Finance Have A Transaction Service Like An Escrow For Sales Of Big Ticket Items Or Is This A Scam?

In our local paper, somebody put an advertisement for a tractor. The tractor sounds nice and at a good price. However, when I e-mailed the person, he said he wanted to use Yahoo! Finance for the transaction. And he is located somewhere across the country, many miles away.
Is this a real service? and how foolproof is it?
His statement was this:
“…I want to use Yahoo! Finance for this transaction. This service allows us to complete the transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts like a third party between seller and buyer, to insure that the buyer receives the item and the seller receives the payment,…”
Thanks!
