🛡️ The 8 Rules of Safe Shopping

1. Verified links only — bookmark wtnmarket.net; never trust pasted links from strangers
2. 2FA before your first deposit — always
3. Low balance — deposit only what the current order needs
4. PGP for sensitive messages — vendors publish PGP keys on profiles
5. Never finalize early — escrow releases only after you confirm delivery
6. Read vendor reviews — patterns and recent feedback matter most
7. Domestic shipping only — the safest possible transit: inside Canada
8. Unique credentials — market password used nowhere else

How Escrow Protects Every Order

1. You pay the market — not the vendor directly
2. The market holds your funds in escrow
3. The vendor ships your order
4. You confirm delivery
5. Only then the vendor is paid

Dispute? Market staff review evidence from both sides. Never pay vendors "directly for a discount" — that's how buyers lose escrow protection.

Payment Privacy — BTC vs XMR

For maximum payment privacy on the darknet market, Monero is recommended. If using BTC, send via your own wallet — not directly from an exchange.
