With a clean, simple UI, MarsMarket brings back the good old vibes of classic DNMs, making it easy for both newcomers and seasoned users to feel at home. If you miss the golden era of Silk Road, you’ll appreciate the familiar layout and smooth user experience. But does MarsMarket live up to its celestial name? Let’s find out.

After creating your account, you’ll receive a 12-word mnemonic code. This is crucial for recovering your account if you ever lose your password. Be sure to copy and securely store it, as it’s the only way to regain access. Once that’s done, you can log in with your new account and start exploring.
After logging in, you'll be greeted with featured listings. You can use the search bar at the top to find specific items or browse through the categories in the header banner to explore different drugs of choice.
Before proceeding, read the FAQ to clarify any doubts regarding referrals, sales commissions, and vendor bonds. The rules can be found under the “Help Center" section.
It's important to review the escrow terms before making a purchase to ensure they align with your expectations. If you have doubts about a seller, it's best to avoid FE, as it removes your ability to dispute the transaction. However, MarsMarket will still look into cases where an FE order is not fulfilled, though refunds will not be possible.
All communication must take place within the market. This means no direct messaging or sharing of alternative communication means such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Session, SimpleX, etc.
Certain items are strictly prohibited from being listed, whether publicly, privately, or through any forum section or private messages. These include child pornography in any form, child exploitation content such as blackmail or hacked material, fentanyl and its analogues, nitazenes and their analogues, weapons including 3D-printed firearms, and any terrorism-related material or discussions. To maintain a fair marketplace, duplicate product listings and product spamming are not allowed. Violators will receive a warning, and failure to remove duplicate listings may result in permanent account suspension.
You can start by entering your search terms into the quick search bar at the top of the market or by browsing through the product categories. On the results page, you’ll find additional filters to refine your search, including shipping locations, price range, accepted currencies, escrow or FE options, and more. You can also look up specific vendors using the search function.
Search results appear in a grid layout, displaying key details such as a brief product description, vendor name and level, price, shipping origin, product image, supported cryptocurrencies, and star rating. Clicking on a vendor's name will also reveal their history from other markets, helping you assess their reputation.
Each listing page provides a product image, a detailed description, shipping options, pricing, and other key details. You can save a product for later by clicking the red "Favorite" button, making it easy to find without searching again. Additionally, you can subscribe to vendors, allowing them to send you bulk messages about their listings, vacations, and similar updates. If previous buyers have left feedback, you’ll find it at the bottom of the listing, helping you make an informed decision. For convenience, prices in Bitcoin and Monero are displayed alongside the local currency price.
Clicking on a vendor’s name takes you to their profile, where you can browse their full product selection and review all feedback they’ve received on the market. You’ll also find details on any disputes they’ve been involved in, including their win/loss record. Sales data from other markets like DrugHub, Archetyp, and DarkMatter is displayed as well, giving you a broader view of their reputation. This page also includes the vendor’s PGP key, essential for secure communication when making a purchase. Additionally, you’ll have options to message the vendor, add them to favorites, subscribe to their listings, or report them if needed.
The vendor profile page includes their profile photo and descriptuon, public PGP key, how many completed orders they've had, how many reviews they've received, and how many 'lost claims' they have had (something which we've not seen any other market recording). You can also view feedback from across their entire product range. If you wish to send a vendor a private message or add them as a friend, you can do this here. There is also the option to gift XMR to a vendor (should you wish to tip them for their good service). This can also be done for any other user, meaning you can transfer funds to an account of a friend if you wish.
To make a purchase on MarsMarket, you'll need to deposit funds into your market wallet by clicking 'Balance' in the header. However, we’re excited to offer Walletless Payments, meaning you can pay directly for orders without any deposit and your coins will be sent directly to Escrow. MarsMarket supports deposits in both Bitcoin and Monero, with most vendors accepting both.
Before depositing cryptocurrency, ensure you're on the correct site by verifying your onion link against those listed on Torhoo to avoid phishing scams.
Once your funds are available, choose your desired item from the product page and enter your shipping details. It’s highly recommended to encrypt this information using the vendor’s PGP key, which is easily accessible at the bottom of the order page for secure communication. You can track your submitted and completed orders in the 'Orders' section. Any updates - such as the vendor accepting, shipping, or canceling your order, will be displayed here, and you’ll also receive a notification.
Once your order arrives, you can mark it as received and leave feedback for the vendor. If there’s an issue, you have the option to extend the escrow by 7 days. If the problem persists, you can escalate it by opening a dispute, which will be reviewed by market staff. However, it’s always recommended to contact the vendor first, as they may be able to resolve the issue directly. Disputing without prior communication reduces the chances of a successful resolution.
To start selling, you must pay a non-refundable vendor fee of $200. We apply a standard 3% sales commission; however, we offer flexible rates, the more you sell, the more we can adjust the commission to benefit your business.
As a seller, you have full control over the escrow period, which can be set between a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of 14 days. Additionally, you are required to keep a valid PGP key on your profile at all times to ensure secure communication.
Lastly, you must strictly adhere to our marketplace guidelines and refrain from listing any prohibited items for sale.
MarsMarket delivers a seamless and user-friendly experience, striking the perfect balance between familiarity and innovation. While it doesn’t aim to reinvent the wheel, it goes beyond the basics to provide a secure and efficient marketplace for both buyers and vendors.
One of the standout features of MarsMarket is its walletless payment system, meaning the market does not store user funds but instead facilitates direct deposits into escrow, making transactions safer for buyers. With a growing vendor base and a strong focus on security and convenience, MarsMarket is well-positioned to thrive and establish itself as a leading force in the darknet space.
