Marketplaces

This is the place where website setup information is given, to allow the vendors and buyers to contact each other. Most of the marketplaces are set up as hidden anonymity networks such as TOR, I2P or Freenet, although there are marketplaces that exist on the surface web and operate over the standard HTTP/HTTPS protocol. In the context of illegal or banned substances, these DNM provide anonymity to both the seller and the vendor, provide escrow service to buyers, which minimizes the uncertainty of the deal struck between both parties, and use the method of advertising goods and services at a fixed price so a deal can be finalized without the seller getting involved.
