DrugHub market rules
The rule set the market actually runs on — read carefully, including the blue popups, because every market differs somewhere. Any violation is handled case-by-case and can end in a warning, a fine or a permanent ban.
Customer rules
- No harassment of staff or vendors
- No false reports of vendors or listings
- No impersonation of vendors or staff
- No phishing attempts
- No business to or from the Russian Federation / CIS — no sales, no data on them
- No doxxing — sharing personal/sensitive info; note: tracking numbers are sensitive
- No circumventing account restrictions
- Use common sense
Vendor rules
- No advertising external contact info anywhere on the market, including PMs (detailed descriptions, spec sheets and harm-reduction resources excepted with staff approval)
- No listings from the prohibited items list
- No attempts to scam any buyer or individual
- Accurate product descriptions at all times — the customer must receive exactly what they order
- Professional handling of all business at all times
- No Russia/CIS business or data sales
- No doxxing customers — tracking numbers are sensitive info
- Always ship from the advertised country
- No off-market deals
- No keyword abuse ("cocaine" listing is not going to carry "weed")
- No early-finalize (FE) requests without FE privileges; FE itself is case-by-case staff discretion
- No circumventing account restrictions
- Use common sense
Prohibited items
- Weapons (self-defense gear like body armor allowed)
- Fentanyl or analogue compounds
- Poisons / chemicals that can harm a living organism
- Pornography of any kind (major-site accounts allowed)
- Stolen data — law enforcement or any government organization
- Stolen data — schools, hospitals or similar
- Tutorials, guides, methods
- Transfers
- "Get rich quick" schemes and signals
Global rules & penalties
No exchanging off-market contact information between buyer and vendor — staff have test-correspondence checks, and being caught gets the account fined or banned. Every other violation lands on the same ladder:

Also in the signed key-facts post
- PGP + Monero familiarity is mandatory — staff don't paste "how do I sign a message" answers to you
- Automated support pages resolve ~99.5% of issues; if the page says one thing, staff won't say another
- Watch your AF timer — extend and dispute if needed
- Check the sign-in message; blank or different = phishing, plain
- Open ticket or dispute: just wait, nothing gets expedited
- Private mirrors are yours alone — aggressive scraping on one = ban, end of story
- No support on Dread whatsoever
- Inactive accounts are purged after 6 months
