Hit me.

The closest exchanges or dealers that I can think of would be in Nigeria.

Thanks for that list.

I've heard of John K - the others are new to me.

Apparently I have a ton of research to do.

DannyHamilton - can I ask how it is that you're able to offer a free escrow service?

So, I was planning on making a purchase via an escrow service (probably BTCrow).

Is there anything that I need be particularly wary of?

Are there any other escrow services that people here can recommend?

Thanks in advance.

I did mention that I was not looking to purchase drugs and I did add that I was looking for an ebay alternative that took bitcoin and smaller/no fees.

Thanks for your help guys.

I don't use reddit but had a look and they have reviewed some of the retailers that I was looking at.

I was hoping that there would something like that here (being a bitcoin forum and all). Nevertheless, appreciate your pointers.

I'm not asking for a place to purchase drugs - just a place to spend bitcoin with a similar set up to ebay (but without the fees).

With regards to the numerous retailers listed on the hidden wiki page:
 
Is there a glossary or a way of finding out which retailers/vendors can be trusted to provide the services/products that they advertise?

Has another site come about to replace the Silk Road? OpenBazaar isn't currently ready. I'm not looking to purchase drugs but somewhere with a feedback system would be ideal.
