Prime Market is currently operational and accepting new registrations. The onion link above is verified and up-to-date as of March 2026. If you're having trouble connecting, make sure you're using the latest Tor Browser — older versions sometimes choke on v3 onion addresses.
The clearnet mirror at primemarket.link provides the same access point but routes through Tor automatically. Useful if you're on a restricted network, though the onion URL is always preferred for maximum privacy.
Quick sanity check: if the URL you're using doesn't start with primeaz, you're on a phishing site. Close the tab. Now.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Simple Listings | Standard product page — title, description, price, shipping options |
| Advanced (Bulk) | Multi-quantity pricing tiers for wholesale orders |
| Finalize Early (FE) | Funds released on shipment — trusted vendors only ($5k bond) |
| Auto-Finalize (AF) | Timer-based release if buyer doesn't confirm or dispute |
| Fent-Free Tag | Requires photo evidence — the market actually checks these |
Prime Market's search isn't fancy, but it gets the job done. Here's what you can filter by:
| Filter | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Categories | Browse by product type — the tree is deep, takes a minute to learn |
| Attributes | Weight, quantity, specific product characteristics |
| Vendor | Search by vendor name directly |
| Ship From / Ship To | Country-specific filtering — surprisingly accurate |
| Hide Vacation | Filters out vendors on vacation mode |
| Hide FE | Only shows escrow listings — safer for new buyers |
| Vendor Type | Bond / Cost | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| New Vendor | $250 (non-refundable) | Application + bond payment |
| Established Vendor | Free | Verified reputation from other markets |
| New FE Vendor | $5,000 (non-refundable) | Application + large bond |
| Experienced FE Vendor | Free | 1000+ sales across multiple markets |
The tiered system means you're unlikely to run into a completely unknown vendor with FE privileges. If they have FE, they've either put serious money on the line or proven themselves elsewhere. Either way, it's a reasonable trust signal.
| Action | BTC | XMR |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit confirmations | 1 confirmation | 2 confirmations |
| Deposit address validity | 6 hours — generate a new one after | |
| Processing time | ~20 minutes after confirmation | |
| Withdrawal minimum | 0.0005 BTC | 0.002 XMR |
| Withdrawal fee | Network fee only | Flat 0.0001 XMR |
| Withdrawal frequency | Once per hour per coin | |
| User-to-user transfer | 0.25% fee, instant | |
The flow is straightforward: you browse, you order, funds go to escrow, vendor ships, you confirm (or dispute). Here's the thing most people don't realize — the auto-finalize timer is there to protect vendors, not to screw buyers. If you have a legitimate issue, open a dispute before the timer runs out. After that, the funds are gone and there's nothing anyone can do.
Order statuses: Pending → Accepted → Shipped → Finalized. If it stays on "Pending" for more than 48 hours, the vendor probably forgot or is on vacation. Check their profile before panicking.
