Vice City is a medium-sized darknet market which opened in May of 2020. It has since managed to draw a loyal audience of both vendors and customers. The market opened under the assumption that it will give special attention to customer service in order to distinguish itself from other markets that were viewed as unfair to consumers when they first started. The market's website is slower to load and clunkier than the other markets, and the site is plagued by frequent delays in timeouts. However, it's able to keep pace with 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 selling of porn-related products, which helps to reduce clutter. Fentanyl is also taken off the market, alongwith the more common others. Although the market does not offer an extensive number of products, it does contain some decent selections of popular drugs and digital items. The market's vendors are located globally, serving all areas of the world.
Product Selection
Vice City currently has around 10,000 listings with around 70% of them being for pharmaceuticals and prescription drugs. The categories that are available for listings include Benzos, Cannabis, Dissociatives Ecstasy Opioids Prescriptions Psychedelics, Steroids, Stimulants Digital, Fraud and Services. The most popular single areas are Digital Items (2647 listings) and Cannabis (2130 listings). The majority of categories are broken down to subcategories making it easier to find the specific type of product of which you're looking. The search tool isn't working currently.
Payment Methods
Vice City is a Bitcoin (BTC)-only marketplace that previously employed the account wallet system. They've since switched to a per-order system of payment which means that customers do not have to make a pre-payment to their account before placing an order. Instead, a specific number of BTC sends to an address representing the order and placed in the account until the request is accepted. At that point, they are transferred by market seller. The market may be planning to implement Monero (XMR) but this feature has not yet be made available. Alongside standard Escrow payment options, Vice City also supports Multisig and FE (finalize early) payment options, although these two options aren't implemented for all vendors.

Overall, is not an ideal choice for all people when it comes to choosing the darknet market. However, being in operation for an entire year and a half so far, they've managed gain some ground in establishing an authentic user base. This is mostly due to making good on the promise of incorporating user feedback into their market processes, even though the market is in its infancy, the admins can provide a proficient way to connect vendors and buyers until it is fully developed.
