A few questions for the members of /r/DarkNetMarkets about possibly opening a PayPal account marketplace

I'm aware there are a lot of PayPal marketplace scams in the works currently. I'm in the works of making a legitimate market (talking with my vendor people, making a site mockup, etc) and have a few questions for you guys.

1.) Would you or anybody you know actually be interested in purchasing from a marketplace such as this?

2.) What would be sufficient evidence of the legitimacy of our PayPal accounts for sale? I don't want to come off as a scammer, because I am by no means a scammer. (If you don't believe me, offer me a way I can prove my legitimacy as a vendor. Don't just whine about how you think I'm a scammer anyway.)

3.) What kind of "grand opening" giveaway should I do to promote the site?

4.) What would be some good places to advertise it? Most of the fraud forums seem to be dead these days.

5.) Any ideas for a possible title for this marketplace?

Also, in case I wasn't clear, this will be a privately-run site, sort of like how The Armory is now.

And please, don't downvote this just because you think fraud is wrong or some other moral-related shit. I just want answers from the community here, downvoting this off the front couple of pages won't stop me from opening this marketplace up.

It's weird how there are multiple levels of scam going on here. Not talking shit at all, fuck paypal, but damn. The non-scammer-scam-market- hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Just a few thoughts on this...

When starting a new site, don't try to hit 10k pageviews in the first 24hrs. There is often a strong desire to go big real quick, but (I think) that in this business caution is much higher on the list than the quick buck. We are under a constant barrage of active attacks, basically at war. A "grand opening" giveaway sounds like you are trying to emulate amazon, like you want to have a grand old time, a place to have not a care in the world while we shop...

I don't want a shiny new marketplace with coupons and banners and theme song and full time advertising squad. When I go looking to perpetrate financial fraud, I want something hardened, hidden, stress/pen/load/whatever tested to the hilt. I want a well funded and active bug bounty program. I want a forum where buyers and vendors converse regularly. I want to feel like the first priority of the site admins was SECURITY.

Just a couple thoughts. Good luck! :-)

1: No 2: Same way other vendors do, free samples and continued service 3: None because you don't want direct promotion- you have a tiny market, people will find you 4: Nowhere 5: gimmeyourmoneythisaintascam666.onion

You really got vendors and started mocking up a site, without a clue about the above, to set up a site marketing stolen paypal accounts you can't even cash out safely yourself?

You are either an idiot or a grade E scammer, or both.
