Questions people keep asking

Is AWazon down?

When an address will not open, three things are possible in order of likelihood: your Tor circuit is bad, the address you have is stale, or the market is genuinely down. Work them in that order: new circuit, other address from the list above, and only then accept it. There is no status light anywhere that tells you the market is up before you try; the test is opening it, and that is why the list has three addresses instead of one.

Did the address change?

Sometimes. The market announces new addresses through its own channels, and until an address comes from one of those channels, it is unverified. A changed address you found only in a search result is a changed address you cannot confirm yet. The checks on the verify page decide whether a candidate is worth trusting.

Are the three addresses the same market?

Yes, completely. Same listings, same sellers, same account, same wallet. Which of the three you log in through changes nothing except the route your traffic takes. The addresses page explains why there are three.

Which of the three is the main one?

There is no main one. Any ranking of the three would be invented. If one is slow for you, take the next.

Can I browse without an account?

The public pages open without a login. Orders, the wallet and feedback need the account.

Why is everything so slow?

Tor routes every connection through several relays, and onion pages take longer than normal sites by design. First visits are the slowest. The Tor page covers what slow should look like and what is actually an error.

How fast are withdrawals?

It depends on the coin network, not on the market. Congested network, queued transaction; quiet network, a few confirmations. The fee is fixed and shown before you confirm; the time is not a number anyone can promise. The payments page has the full picture.

Can I pay with a card or a bank transfer?

No. The market works in coins, through the wallet inside the .onion address. Anyone offering 'card payment for AWazon' on a normal website is a middleman with your card number, which is a business model, not a payment method.

Is it safe?

The address part: safe if you check it, the four checks on the verify page. The account part: safe if you do the boring things, 2FA, a unique password, a wallet sized to your spending. That page is the checklist. The seller part is yours to read per order, because sellers vary and the market shows you the history to judge them by.

What if the page asks me for my password?

If you are on one of the three .onion addresses and it is the login form, that is the market. If you are anywhere else, the page is the problem. Nothing on these pages will ever ask for your password either, and no private message from a counterparty should, ever.
