Vendors and partners on Nexus Market

Every darknet market is only as good as its vendors. Here is how we vet sellers on Nexus, what we require from them, and how to apply if you want to sell on our onion marketplace.

How we select vendors

We do not let anyone sell on Nexus. Vendors go through an application process before they get an account.

  • Security deposit

    Every vendor pays a deposit in cryptocurrency before they can list. It sits in multisig escrow and gets returned if they leave in good standing. If they scam a buyer, we use the deposit to refund the buyer. This filters out most opportunistic scammers.

  • PGP verification

    Vendors must use PGP for all account recovery and sensitive communication. If a vendor cannot manage basic PGP, they are not ready to sell on a darknet market. No exceptions.

  • Review history

    New vendors start with a visible "new seller" tag. Buyers can see when a vendor joined, how many orders they have completed and their dispute rate. Reputation is earned, not bought.

Vendor categories on Nexus

These are the main categories where vendors sell on our onion marketplace. Each category has its own rules and review standards.

  • Digital goods

    Ebooks, software, accounts

    Vendors selling digital products — ebooks, software licenses, premium accounts, digital gift cards. Delivery is usually instant or within hours.

    How to sell

  • Security and privacy tools

    VPN, hosting, pentesting

    Vendors offering privacy-focused services — offshore hosting, VPN access, pentesting tools, security software. All listings reviewed for legitimacy.

    How to sell

  • Pharmaceuticals

    Prescription, research chems

    One of the largest categories. Vendors must provide lab tests where applicable and follow shipping stealth rules. Buyer reviews heavily monitored.

    How to sell

  • Counterfeit items

    Currency, documents, IDs

    Vendors selling counterfeit currency, documents and IDs. Strict category rules, mandatory sample reviews before listing goes live.

    How to sell

  • Data and documents

    Leaked data, databases

    Vendors selling datasets, documents and leaked information. Listings reviewed for authenticity. Buyers should verify samples before large purchases.

    How to sell

  • Services and hosting

    Hacking, dev, design

    Vendors offering services — custom development, design, hacking services, hosting. Escrow holds funds until the buyer confirms the work is done.

Why vendor partnerships matter on a darknet market

A darknet market without good vendors is just an empty onion link. We learned early on that the markets that last are the ones that treat vendors fairly — not the ones that squeeze them with high fees and arbitrary bans.

So we keep our commission low, we do not ban vendors without evidence and a chance to respond, and we pay out on time. In return we expect vendors to ship what they list, respond to buyers within 48 hours and not try to move deals off-platform. When that breaks down, we step in.

Learn more about our approach on the about page, or contact us with questions about a specific vendor or category.

Become a vendor on Nexus

Four steps from application to your first listing going live on the onion marketplace.

  1. Apply

    Send your application through the vendor form on the market after accessing it via a verified onion link. Tell us what you want to sell and provide samples if applicable.

  2. Review

    Our team reviews your application, checks samples and asks follow-up questions if needed. This usually takes 2-3 days. We reject applications that do not meet category requirements.

  3. Deposit and setup

    If approved, you pay the security deposit into multisig escrow, set up your PGP key and configure your vendor profile — shipping rules, refund policy, PGP-signed contact details.

  4. Start selling

    Your listings go live. New vendors get a "new seller" tag for the first 30 days. Build reviews by completing orders on time and responding to buyers quickly.
