There is this great alternative or even future to the darkmarketplaces in p2p decentralized online marketplaces like OpenBazaar (
https://openbazaar.org/). Can be used with tor for complete anonymity, is safe and secure(at least for moderated payments), free, fast and easy to use. "A FREE ONLINE MARKETPLACE. NO PLATFORM FEES. NO RESTRICTIONS." - as stated by the dev team, decentralized ebay/amazon p2p alternative at it's core. Such platforms are the much needed evolution for both, online commerce and darkmarkets in particular. I personally think as a community we should support and utilize such kind of projects, instead of dreaming about shopping with crypto in fiat businesses.
The typical darkmarket goods are already there as well as normal stuff. It's also possible to automatically and anonymously exchange cryptos p2p on the platform with cryptocurrency listings in the latest update.
