Using World Market

There is a reason why the AlphaBay design has been replicated not once, but twice, and that is because the design was on the one hand simple while also displaying a lot of information and looking nice.

The World Market interface is identical to that of AlphaBay and Empire, and those who have previously used those marketplaces are welcome to purchase.

The vendor profiles and listing information are simple and easy to use; while entering any listing, you may check the pricing, delivery options, feedback, and return policy. The vendor level and trust levels are also displayed so that it is clear which vendor can be trusted and which cannot.

Vendor feedback may be viewed stretching back 12 months, thus if a vendor has been excellent in the past but is preparing for an exit scam in the last month, it can be plainly visible on his public profile.

World Market FAQ

World Market has released an easy and short FAQ that answers a lot of questions you might have on the market-

What is World Market?

World Market is a darknet marketplace for all black market commodities that is completely anonymous. Anyone can create a seller account and post offerings for the community. To ensure buyer protection, all transactions are processed through our secure Escrow system.

Why do you use Alphabay/Empire Market layout?

The main goal is to resurrect old melodious recollections. Alphabay was incredibly cool, and every merchant enjoyed it. When one of the Empire Market admin exitscammed and ruined Alexandre Cazes’ work, it broke our hearts. His labor made vendors’ lives more bearable and provided everyone with a future. We can’t bring Alphabay and Alexandre Cazes back, but we can’t help but feel nostalgic for Alphabay, which is why we chose the Alphabay Market layout. May his soul rest in peace in heaven.

RIP Alexander Cazez!

Is it safe to use World Market?

If your interest in the darknet market extends to being a regular DNM shopper, you should practice more stringent opsec. If you’re a casual DNM customer who doesn’t order by the pound or kilo, don’t worry about it. To access the darknet, you will require the Tor web browser, which must be properly setup. You should never, ever use JAVASCRIPT. World Market protects your privacy by encrypting our database. We adhere to best security practices. For our users’ safety, we also have a bug bounty program.

I am scammed need help, what can I do?

When you initially enter a darknet market, you run a high risk of losing your bitcoin. Take a thorough look at the seller you’re buying from before you start dropping pills into your shopping basket. Most merchants are legitimate and have no intention of defrauding their clients, but don’t take their word for it – check their feedback. Remember that a vendor with 100 four-star ratings is far more trustworthy than one with five stars and three sales.

Escrow is your buddy; never finalize your order too soon in case you haven’t gotten it. If you’ve already been duped, there’s little the market can do for you, but if you report your fraudster on time, the market may ban him and repay you by withholding vendor funds.

Does World Market sell anything?

World Market has practically all of the black market stuff that you won’t find on any other website. Prostitution, child porn, and murder services/substances intended to kill or poison humans/weapons, on the other hand, are not permitted.

What currencies does World Market support?

Bitcoin and Monero

What is the mnemonic?

The mnemonic for your account is used for recovery purposes, it’s only displayed during registration.

How does the PGP Work?

PGP is relatively simple to use and, thus far, is the finest encryption for Darknet users. It will take you 15 minutes the first time you try to use PGP (also known as GPG) to install and successfully encrypt your first message to your darknet seller. The second time will take you five minutes, the third time will take you 60 seconds, and the fourth time you will be ashamed of having ever chatted bareback on the darknet without PGP. Don’t rely on darknet markets to encrypt your data for you by checking the request box when you place your order. It employs an asymmetric public and private key system, in which the sender encrypts the message using the public key provided by the intended receiver, and only he may decrypt it using his matching private key. We strongly recommend that you utilize an offline, open source PGP program such as GPG.

How can I know that I am using a real world market mirror?

On every mirror you can go to /verify, if the link is real it will be signed by the market key. Make sure the signature matches the market key.

Where can I buy Bitcoins or Monero?

In the clearnet, there are numerous techniques and venues for trading cryptocurrencies. We recommend that you buy peer-to-peer via sites like https://localbitcoins.com/ or https://localmonero.com/, as you will typically find more hassle-free and private solutions here, especially if you are new to the field. You may learn how to utilize Monero by visiting this page. http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion

What is FE (Finalize Early) or Escrow?

Escrow is a temporary holding of funds for a transaction on the buyers’ and sellers’ behalf before the transaction is finished. When a buyer makes a purchase on our market, the money is removed from their market wallet and immediately transferred to the market escrow wallet.

Finalize Early is a similar payment procedure, except the balance is sent to the vendor’s wallet without much ado.

How does escrow work for digital listings?

When you purchase a listing, it is shown as processing. The vendor has 24 hours to finish the order by shipping the digital item and labeling it as sent, otherwise the sale will be cancelled. Once the order has been listed as sent, the buyer can either finish the order once the purchase has been received, dispute the order if there is an issue, or prolong escrow if necessary. If the buyer does nothing after the order has been designated as dispatched, it will auto-finalize after 24 hours.

When you buy a listing, it is reported as processing. The vendor has 72 hours to dispatch the order and declare it as shipped, otherwise it will be cancelled. Once the order has been listed as dispatched, the buyer can either finalize it once it has been received, dispute it if there is an issue, or prolong escrow if necessary. If the buyer does nothing after the order has been designated as dispatched, it will auto-finalize after 14 days.

Are all listings done through escrow?

The only listings that are not done through escrow are listings by FE vendors. FE vendors are vendors that have been proven to be reliable and reputable.

How can I get FE(Finalize Early)?

A vendor can apply for FE once their vendor level reaches 5. The criteria for this is at least 250 sales, $25’000 in volume and 90% positive feedback.

How is the AutoShop different from listings?

The AutoShop has no escrow, it’s intended to be a fast paced process. To ensure a card purchased off the AutoShop is live you can enable the checker during checkout, this will automatically cancel the order.
