Amazon Dark is now live. Amazon Dark has been designed to mimic the aesthetics and functions of Amazon,
while catering to a slightly different audience.
We are bringing a proven business model that everyone is familiar with to the deep web.

We have been watching diligently as recent events have transpired, and as we were 
creating Amazon Dark from the ground up, we have made some key changes to adapt to 
the ever changing world of DNM's. Unfortunately, it seems there are two routes that a market can take.
Those routes include getting busted by LE, or performing an exit scam. The latter has become much
more prominent over the last year.

We are taking an alternate approach, and would like to prove that a market can be born, flourish, and fade
away peacefully, which is very rarely done on a large scale. What we mean is that we are open about our
intentions from day one. Amazon Dark will be operating for 12 months from today, this is to prevent us
from getting to the point where we are pushed down one of the aforementioned routes.

Below is a list of items not permitted on our marketplace, everything else is fair game.
This is so you can decide for yourself if Amazon Dark would be a fit for you.

Items Not Permitted
Child Pornography 
Firearms & Explosives
Murder For Hire 
Human Trafficking Services 
Poisons 
Carding/Fraud Related Listings

We will rarely be making posts or announcements outside of our platform, with the exception being
that our website is down. Anything that is posted will be signed with our PGP Key which is available in our FAQ.
We will collate questions raised here and provide answers on a news post on the site within the next 24 hours.

Mailing address for the Cease and Desist letters from Amazon's lawyers cannot be found on our FAQ.

EDIT: It has been a little over twelve hours since we announced Amazon Dark, there have been a lot of feedback, requests and suggestions. After hearing from the community, there are a few key points that stood out to us.

[11 Points] impost_r:

You promising to close down the market after 1 year doesn't mean anything.. Inb4 exit scam in 6 months.


[11 Points] The_Madhouse:

Your headers are gonna be a problem for you I used slowloris to do a simple slowhttp dos attack and it dropped your site like a brick. You should look up techniques to mitigate this especially because dos seems to be a problem for markets lately


[8 Points] throw_always:

My observations:


[7 Points] defiantlyfucked:

You want to be different?

Switch to Multi-sig only escrow.

People will be begging you to stay after 12 months.


[7 Points] MXEMan:

Finally an answer to all the people I keep hearing say that darknet markets aren't Amazon or eBay. XD


[4 Points] defiantlyfucked:

Advertising "Automatic PGP encryption on communications and delivery information."

Is promoting poor OPSEC.


[4 Points] sobulbous:

Cue the Amazon Dark Refund Vendors.


[3 Points] darkkhalizzle:

This is going to be an interesting couple of weeks!


[3 Points] ciphersexual:

I know you said that you will rarely communicate outside of the market. Does that mean you won't be creating your own subreddit for the market?


[3 Points] HerbalExpressVendor:

After getting fucked over by AGAPE we've moved our operation over to here, hopefully we can pick up where we left off although we're putting a lot of faith into the Amazon Dark team to not fuck us over. So far they've been really helpful with getting us set up so fingers crossed.


[2 Points] toopeasinapod:

amazon take bitcoin

fuck yes


[1 Points] Trappy_Pandora:

What is your plan for if amazon sues you for trademark infringement? Or sends you a cease and desist PM with lots of frowny faces?


[2 Points] throw_me_away22236:

I like the market from what I see so far, its good the multi-sig doesnt require sending the coins to the site and +1 for automatic withdrawals on all coins!

Good luck


[1 Points] xanax_xombie:

I'd be interested to see what some of the more veteran DNM OPSec critics have to say about this site, personally I miss the days of private boards, and cash / WU transactions. Every vendor lived on their reputation whispered on secret boards and SOS, barely any exit scamming shit, those were the days.

I hope this market is the real deal, and not the reincarnation of Verto / Kimble making their second round of fuck you's to vendors and customers.


[1 Points] None:

Don't u think Amazon will be out to shut u down? Because thats associating their name with some sketchy shit. But honestly people who starts these markets you have some huge balls!


[1 Points] Raycay1:

How much is a bendor bond? Im thinking about trying to make a vendor account to sell mxp, not the beloved mxe but its lesser traveled cousin. My reasoning is the availibility of mxe right now and maybe if i offered the alternative at fair prices correctly labeled, the market would open up for it? What does anyone think? Is it worth it?


[1 Points] None:

[removed]


[1 Points] ErraticWire:

Will any items be Prime eligible? Heh.


[1 Points] smokingdickhead:

amazon is already getting enough grief with double dips . theyll probably get more freaked out with a dnm named after them.


[1 Points] None:

Must be down, all get is "error please contact support whenever i visit"


[0 Points] thechildish:

you could have come up with a more interesting name than Amazon Dark


[0 Points] GrandMasta216:

Checked the market out. Looks nice nothing different from any other dnm though. Hopefully some respected vendors get on it.


[-1 Points] JustHangin12:

No human trafficking services? I'm not interested.


[-1 Points] fuckwhiteyross10:

thanks for not allowing murder for hire. Ross is a black hole on this industry and we dont want anyone following him


[-3 Points] Id0notexist:

Items Not Permitte Firearms & Explosives Carding/Fraud Related Listings

No fun


[-3 Points] DotModPetri:

When did DNM become a bunch of pussies? No firearms? No Carding?

Nothing to see here.


[-9 Points] fuckwhiteyross10:
