Vice City is a medium-sized darknet market that began trading in May 2020 and has managed to attract a large number of vendors and customers. The market began operations under the assumption that it would concentrate on customer service to differentiate its market from others that were seen as more unfair to consumers back then. The page for the market is slow to load and more clumsier than the other markets, and the website suffers from frequent timeout errors. Nevertheless, it manages to keep up with a certain consistent performance, and a $300 bond from the vendor is a low entry point for new vendors.
Vice City was one of the first cities to ban all sales of porn related items, which reduces chaos. The sales of fentanyl have also been outlawed, as have the typical others. Although the market doesn't have many listings however, it offers some decent selections of common drugs and electronic items. The market's vendors are scattered worldwide, covering all regions across the globe.
Product Selection
Vice City currently has around 10,000 listings, with about 70% of these being for pharmaceuticals and drugs. Categories of listings include Benzos, Cannabis, Dissociatives, Ecstasy, Opioids, Prescriptions, Psychedelics, Steroids, Stimulants, Digital, Fraud, and Services. The most searched-for areas are Digital Items (2647 listings) and Cannabis (2130 listings). Many categories are divided into subcategories, making it easy to identify the exact product that you are looking for. The search feature appears to be not functioning as of now.
Payment Methods
Vice City is a Bitcoin (BTC)-only market that until recently was using the traditional account wallet system. They've switched to the per-order method of payment this means that buyers do not require pre-funding their accounts before placing an order. Instead, a predetermined size in BTC gets sent an address that represents the order. The account is waiting until the order has been accepted. At that point, the funds are released by the market to the vendor. It seems that the market is ready to support Monero (XMR) however the feature is yet to be implemented. In addition to standard Escrow payments, Vice City also supports Multisig and FE (finalize early) payment options, though these options aren't available for all vendors.

In all, is not the first option for everyone when it comes to selecting a darknet market but having been around for about a year and a half this year, they've succeeded in develop an authentic user base. This is largely thanks to making good on their commitment to incorporate users' feedback into their processes for market development, even though the market is in its infancy, the admins are able for connecting buyers and sellers when it's ready for full-on completion.
