Trade Route

Trade Route (TR) is a market designed by veteran users of dark web services tired of the continuous debacles and scams of every single marketplace. Thus, we ought to create the ultimate marketplace, but it wouldn't be easy, we had to create new technologies to keep funds and information safe even in the worst scenarios. The most important improvements are related with payment system and the server back-end.

The payment scheme we designed is the ultimate escrow system and works pretty much like Paypal, the market guarantees every transaction. We do this by taking funds from the commissions earnings. This will ensure that vendors receive their funds as soon as possible while all orders are guaranteed just like using classic escrow. The entire process is very easy and completely transparent to the user.

Imagine that a vendor sells 20 products for 10$ each one. The first sale produce 0.5$ in fees that are stored in a wallet. When this vendor sells the second product he receives 0.5$ directly and 9.5$ stay in escrow. On the third product he receives 1$ directly and 9$ are hold in escrow. The process continues and on product number 20 he receives all the funds as if it was FE but the customer is protected by the market because accumulated commissions are equal at the price of the sale.

In short, we have solved all the issues of the outdated classic escrow system: -Vendors receive all funds on shipment. -Customers are always protected through the security escrow. -The marketplace hold a minimal amount of funds reducing the possibility of all money being lost for any reason.

Designed with simplicity in mind our market's user interface is devised to avoid losing time doing routine things. There's no point in making you search between tons of useless features and options.

Our objective is to be the leader darknet marketplace. In order to achieve this ambitious goal we need to earn the people's confidence and we are determined to do it by offering the best service possible. We have a support team that will help every single user who does need it, a very intuitive design that makes your life easier and our innovative payment system. We are confident that our experience and honesty will make Trade Route a great market and community.

Trade Route Team.

So your payment system still keeps all the funds it's just a matter of if the vendor gets it out of escrow instantly or when buyer releases?

If it's so there's still nothing to prevent you from disabling withdrawls and exit scamming just like everyone else.


[9 Points] RainbowNose:

So if there is a selective scamming/ exit scamming vendor, he gets paid anyway? Then the argument becomes between the buyer and marketplace? I wonder who will win that one. Its like taking both the problems of FE and of escrow and rolling them into one. This creates far more problems than it solves.

So if there are 1000 orders at $10 each...

That's $10,000 worth of orders.

The market will have $500 worth of commissions and $10 + $9.50 + $9 + .... + $1 + $0.50 = $105 in escrow.

So if the vendor exit scams, the market has a total of $605 to cover the $10,000 in orders?

So does each person get 60 and a half cents back from their $10 order? Or would the marketplace cover the other $9,395 so they can get full refunds?

I received an order yesterday, and it was shipped tomorrow. But now there is written that i have i wait 18 days before receive my founds. I really don't understand how your system works.

Sounds like the worlds best exit scam before you even enter.

Didn't even bother coming up with a good name, just went "how can we call this silk road without completely ripping it off?"

So, let's say in a vendor. I make a buyers account, place an order and pay. Then, on the vendors account, I pull out the money I just got from the commission pool. I go back under the buyers account and claim I was scammed. Now I'm refunded (I presume). So now I have double the money.

If I've got this straight, when the vendor has orders in escrow, he will receive some or all of the funds to his wallet, up to but not exceeding the amount of commission he's earned to date for TradeRoute?

At first I thought "that's clever". Then I thought a bit more and thought "how stupid!"

Then I thought about it some more and I realized that it's clever.

The more the vendor trades without incident, the more he's allowed to FE, kinda. The marketplace only risks what it's earned from each vendor (I think).

It's not as complicated as it first appears, if I explain it like this:-

Some markets, like Agora, allowed any vendor to require FE or use escrow or any mixture of the two, completely without restriction. Some markets only allow vendors to request payment up front after a certain number of sales, and demonstration of good behavior.

TradeRoute is a bit like this, except vendors are NEVER allowed to ask a customer to FE. But after a while they get paid a bigger and bigger amount up-front. Naturally, it's up to the customer when they Finalize and they may do it early under pressure from a vendor.

There will be a rule on this marketplace that if you've finalized, you can't complain.

So what is the address


[1 Points] SpiffyWhiff:

You've screwed up the economic incentives. You've created a market where the market gets to decide disputes and the market's profits are directly related to them resolving disputes in their favor.

Same with your relationship to the vendors. The market is in the position to decide which vendors get paid. Imagine a scammer who sends empty envelopes. At what point does the market stop paying the scammer? The market gets to decide. Your market also profits from this when you have the power to freeze vendor funds.

You've created another escrow marketplace, but you've added an 'insurance' program which is entirely opaque, and gives the market even more power. Even if your market has good intentions, people will take advantage of this insurance, and the commission fund will shrink to 0, forcing you to make these 'insurance' decisions based on financial factors.

You've invented nothing of importance here. AB has an indemnity fund system that is much better thought out and solves this problem(if it were implemented properly).

Hello,

after listening our clients we decided to change some Trade Route aspects, so we are going to open a new post in DarkNetMarkets subreddit explaining them because this one doesnŽt show the present situation.

Regards.
