UK alternative to Agora?

Are there any out there? I'd be interested to have a look at other markets while Agora is down, and maybe find an alternative for certain products once it's back up.

Good luck. I have trawled through a few of the markets, and the vast vast majority of uk vendors are just on Agora.

No idea what they are like and take no responsibility if they're shite. :D Not my list.

But Agora seems to be the place to be atm.

Agora is the preferred marketplace for British Tor Vendors Association members. We don't recommend against any of the other markets.

Its usually a vendor's second preference which grows overnight when their primary one closes, so smaller markets work hard to be second choice.

This time, we're not too worried about how busy the secondary is. We will probably choose the first one which offers auto withdrawals to vendors, like the first Silk Road.

When a customer is happy and releases the escrow to the vendor, why does it go into an onsite wallet?

Because the marketplace owner anticipates having to stop vendors from withdrawing their own takings at some time in the future.

You could set the "Ross" Silk Road to send it to your own wallet Thats how we knew he didn't intend to rob us.

Silk Road 2.0 was pretty much identical, except it removed auto-withdrawal and bitcoin price hedging.

We don't think complicated escrows with multiple keys are the future, because all escrows require fair arbitration by a third party. Its more important to get the bitcoin the hell out of Dodge market the minute the customer finalizes.

You never actually have a bitcoin wallet on a marketplace. So why pretend? It LOOKS like a wallet in the same way that Maggie Simpson LOOKS like she has a car steering wheel in the Simpsons title sequence.
