Here's a tutorial by Walter on "How to trade in LT2 with both parties being safe".

This guide assumes 1 person wants to buy items from person 2 This essentially makes it possible for person 1 to deny person 2's access to the item
 * Person 2 places his items on Person 1's plot

This is safe since person 2 is already doing the same thing to person 1 by not having him whitelisted, so saving is impossible Safe since Person 1 can blacklist Person 2 if he tries to run after payment
 * Person 1 pays Person 2 the money
 * Person 2 whitelists Person 1
 * Person 1 reloads plot

It's that simple.

One thing to note here is that in the trade, there comes a point for both players to take the items hostage. When items are taken hostage, the only person that can benefit from taking an item hostage is the person selling the items.

If person 1 is not whitelisted at all but Person 2 already received the money, Person 2 will be able to not whitelist and wait until Person 1 leaves the game so the item will be free to pick up.

This doesn't work both ways since Person 1 cannot win the waiting game with Person 2. If Person 2 leaves with his items on Person 1's plot while not having Person 1 whitelisted, the items will simply disappear.
