Vice City is a medium-sized darknet market that began trading in May 2020 . The market has managed to attract a large number of both vendors and customers. The market was established on the notion that it would give special attention to customer service in order to distinguish it from other markets which were viewed as unfair to consumers in the early days. Market pages are a bit slow to load and is a bit clunkier than other markets . Additionally, the site is plagued by frequent delays in timeouts. However, it's able to keep up with a certain consistent performance, and a $300 bond for vendors is a low entry point for new vendors.
Vice City was one of the first cities to ban the sale of porn-related merchandise, which reduces chaos. The sales of fentanyl have also been outlawed, as have the typical others. Although the market isn't able to offer the most extensive inventory but it does offer an adequate selection of prominent drugs and digital goods. The vendors of the market are spread across the globe, catering to all regions of the globe.
Product Selection
Vice City currently has around 10,000 listings with around 70% of those for drugs and pharmaceuticals.

The most searched-for categories are Digital Items (2647 listings) and Cannabis (2130 listings). Many categories are divided to subcategories , which makes it easy to identify the exact product for which you are searching. The search feature appears to be not functioning as of now.
Payment Methods
Vice City is a Bitcoin (BTC)-only market which, up until recently, used the traditional account-based wallet system. They've switched to the per-order method of payment this means that buyers do not need to pre-fund their accounts prior to placing an order. Instead, a predetermined size in BTC gets sent the address that represents the order. The account is placed in the account until the request is accepted. At that point, it is released to the seller. The market appears to be looking to enable Monero (XMR) however this feature is still to be implemented. In addition to standard Escrow payments, Vice City also supports Multisig and FE (finalize early) payment options, even though the latter two options aren't accessible to all vendors.
