WHM Buyer Guide
This is the most comprehensive buyer guide about white house market. You can use this guide to purchase anything very easily.
Always verify pgp signed message and make sure you are on the correct url.
If you find something you like:
Check the listing carefully, and pay attention to listing’s terms and shipping information when dealing with physical goods. Prices are listed in fiat currency, but you will pay in Monero at the current exchange rate.
View vendor’s last activity time, rating, reviews and import vendor’s PGP public key.
Select desired quantity, shipping method and place the order. All refunds will be deposited into your market wallet. You can use those funds as a total or partial payment for future orders or you can withdraw.
Write a short message to the vendor. Messages have to be locally encrypted (and preferably signed) before sending. After hitting “Place Order” you will be shown an Invoice page. There you will find a Monero address unique to this order. The address is encrypted and signed. If you have money in your market wallet it will be used for either a total or a partial payment. If your balance won’t cover the order you will only have to send the missing amount.
– Important:
- Send the exact order amount to that address.
- The payment requires at least 1 confirmation within 180 minutes. By not having at least one confirmation within the 180 minute window you may lose your coin.
- Address is unique to the order/invoice. Trying to re-use that address and you will lose your coin.
- If you place multiple orders, you need to send multiple payments to multiple order addresses. Do not try to combine payments, it will not work.
- If you send less then the required amount, the order will be cancel and a refund will be issued to your market wallet.
- If you send more then the required amount, the difference will be refunded.
- If, by the time the payment is confirmed, something goes wrong with the listing (out of stock, vendor deleted listing) your order will be canceled and you will be refunded.
- If you don’t send any payment, your invoice will be canceled.
- Vendor will not “see” the order until payment is confirmed (10 network confirmations). We are not a wallet-less market so for payment issues contact US not the vendor!
- Do not include a payment ID.
- Do not send the payment from an exchange. While that may work, it is very bad for your OPSEC, the amount may be different, payment may be delayed and you may lose your coin. Send to your local wallet first!
After you sent the payment, you can refresh the “Invoice Status” page for updates. If you log out or close the browser, you can find the invoice under “Your Invoices” page. After your payment is confirmed (10 network confirmations) your order will be sent to the vendor.
If the vendor does not accept the order within 4 hours, you can cancel it. After a vendor marks the order as “Complete” pay attention to auto finalize date and time. You can only dispute or extend the auto-finalize time 24 hours before auto-finalize, so make sure you keep an eye on your orders as the exact time window for disputes / extend AF is clearly shown in the order tab.
Before disputing an order, please observe our rules. If you lose a dispute, administrators may give you a negative rating/feedback. Keep in mind after a dispute is opened the other party has 72 hours (5 business days due to Covid) attend your dispute by using “Reply to dispute” button under your orders / your messages. Remember to finalize your order after receiving your product/service. Failure to finalize can get you a bad rating/review. While finalize-early (FE) is accepted, it is not encouraged. FE should only be used if you really trust the vendor (you have traded before), after you release the coin we cannot help you. Think before you click! Rate the vendor after an order, to help keeping the community safe. You can edit your feedback 30 days after an order is released / finalized.
White House Market Vendor Guide
- Every vendor is advized to verify signed message before entering white house market.
- If you are an established vendor on another market and you can prove who you are we will give you the same username (even if someone else already registered it) and we will port your feedback.
- Before becoming a vendor, please observe our rules as breaking or trying to circimvent any of them will get your account either temporarily or permanently restricted.
- If your account is banned for rule violation we will give you time to attend pending orders, withdraw your balance and we will give you your bond back.
– Since the above paragraph has been repeatedly abused it is no longer in effect. Rule violations will be treated on case by case basis but by breaking or trying to circumvent any rule you will most likely end up making a donation. Rules are not optional and if you don’t like them don’t join. If your account is banned for scamming you will get nothing back. - If you find those rules acceptable:
– Go to your account and click “Become a vendor”, then fill in the vendor application. We will process it as soon as possible. A non-refundable, $1000 vendor bond will be required.
Once you are a vendor, go to your account -> Manage your listings -> Add new listing. Describe your item as accurately as possible. Include terms and conditions either in your vendor profile or in the item’s description.
Do not include any off site communication methods (jabber, wickr, email) netiher in the listing description nor in your profile. If you want to send your contacts to your customer you can do that via encrypted messaging, but not via public listings.
Select shipping origin and destination, available quantities, measurement units, prices, etc. Fiat prices have to be integers, no cents (.99) nonsense. Add shipping methods. If selling digital goods/services, shipping is not required.
If you do not login to your vendor account within 5 days and you do not have notifications enabled (email or jabber) you will be set to vacation mode and your listings deactivated. Add up to four pictures. Maximum picture size is 5 megabytes, the gallery thumbnail will be generated from the first image. For physical items, pictures are required. - Established vendors can apply for FE. To do so, log in and click “FE Application” under the user drop-down menu.
Some of you may have already been approved, to see your FE status check admin messages or go to your account page. Not everybody will be accepted. We won’t publish the exact requirements for approval, however however you have to be an established vendor with FE on at least one active market.
Customer can still cancel the order if you do not accept it within 4 hours, and you can cancel/refuse an order. Since we don’t have a “hot wallet”, coins will still be stored in the market wallet until you withdraw. If there are issues with the order, refunds / reshipments are to be arranged directly with the customer. If you receive complaints, your FE privileges may be revoked. - If selling digital goods, you can either send them to the buyer as a message, or attach them as a file. Attachments must be encrypted with the buyer’s public key before sending.
- We do not offer automatic discounts at the moment, however you can always create custom (private) listings.
- We do not offer sorting by vendor’s rating at the moment, because we want to give all vendors equal opportunity to do business..

- You can choose to either accept or cancel an order. If canceling, it’s recommended to message the buyer and explain why.
- Please check your stock / order message / policies BEFORE accepting an order or marking it as Complete / Shipped. If for any reason you cannot fulfill an order (you don’t ship to customer’s country etc) cancel the order before accepting it. Asking us to cancel an order you accepted will count as a lost dispute. You can access the order message from within the order tab.

- Rate the buyer after an order, to help keeping the community safe.
- You can edit your feedback 30 days after an order is released / finalized.
Security Considerations
- Learn how to use PGP and especially how to protect your private keys! While PGP is widely used for encryption and signing, it has a few limitations:
- It is difficult to use. We provide a limited tutorial but we won’t cover every OS / OS version in existence. There are lots of tutorials online.
- It has some nasty denial or service vulnerabilities (https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f), importing a wrong key can wipe out your keyring or worse. Do not import keys from public keyservers and backup your keyring often!
- It does not support PFS (Perfect Forwarding Secrecy). Meaning if someone steals your private key, every message you ever received can be decrypted!
- In the long run we plan on replacing PGP with something better and easier to use.
- Protect your keys!
- Protect your OS. We recommend against using the same computer / OS for both darknet activity and clearnet stuff. In fact we recommend using Tails from a bootable USB stick with persistent storage for storing your keys/wallets or for more advanced users something like Whonix with Qubes. If that is not possible/practical at least use an up to date OS, not used for anything else.
- Use full disk encryption! Never access any market before encrypting your whole disk!
- If accessing a darknet market from an Android device, make sure that:
- The device is supported and is running the latest Android version (Android 10 at the time of this writing)
- Your device has the latest security patches.
- You run Tor browser and OpenKeychain (for PGP) in an isolated profile, separated from everything else.
- Only use an Android device if you know what you are doing!
- Mind your OPSEC both online and while sending/receiving packages. Handwriting can be analyzed and attributed to a person, some printers use microdots that can identify a specific printer. You can find a lot of information about privacy and OPSEC while searching online.
- Do not keep Monero (or other currency) in custodial wallets like Coinbase. If you do not control your private keys, it’s not your coin. Coinbase was given as an example, every custodial wallet / exchanger is the same.
- Do not keep any shipping information for longer then you have to, including but not limited to addresses / envelopes / packages / shipping labels.
- If a tracking number is provided, do not track the package using your home internet connection or your phone, because if the shipment gets intercepted you will lose plausible deniability.
- Do not reuse usernames/passwords/PGP keys over multiple darknet markets. While for vendors wanting to maintain their reputation this could be difficult, it shouldn’t be a problem for buyers.
- Under any circumstances do not use on darknet any username / nickname / moniker / password / PGP key that you may use or may have used on the clearnet or in real life, not even something similar! It’s the fastest way to get caught!
Bug Bounty Program
White house market encourages skilled pen testers to pen test the market. Depending on how serious a bug is, your work will be compensated. While you won’t be able to steal any money or sensitive information (wallets are kept offline and communication is mandatory end to end encrypted) responsible disclosure will spare us some embarrassment. We treat all bugs seriously, both related to functionality and security. We agree no software is perfect and there is a probability we screwed up something somewhere.
Please keep in mind: Missing features are not considered bugs, but we are open about that too. Denial of service attacks against the Tor network are not considered bugs either. Overall pentesters can earn a good amount of money using their bug bounty program.
Payments & Withdrawals
Payment address is unique for each white house market order. If you send twice to the same address you will lose your coin. Payment must be received within 120 minutes after you order (at least 1 network confirmation). After 120 minutes your order will be canceled. If your payment is received later then 120 minutes make sure you contact us within 5 days and we may recover your coin, otherwise there is nothing we can do.
Remember: 120 minutes refers to the time we receive your payment not the time you send it. Have the coin in your wallet before ordering.
- Do not pay your orders from online wallets / exchanges. Send the coin to your local wallet first because:
- It is dangerous for you.
- Some of them add extra verification/delays and you won’t make the 2 hour window.
- Some use a ridiculously low transaction fee and the transaction will be delayed.
- Transfer to your local wallet first and don’t be cheap on the transaction fee. Late payments create unnecessary support work and you may lose your coins.
When contacting support about a payment include order id, transaction id/hash or exchange ID if you paid by Bitcoin. Support cannot help you without this information and your ticket will be ignored.
Please remember:
White house market do not have a hot wallet, all withdrawals are checked and processed offline. This can take up to 24 hours. So if you don’t receive your withdrawal 10 minutes after you requested it, don’t panic, it’s just the way the system works. Sometimes withdrawals are indeed processed within minutes, but that’s not a rule. Contact support about withdrawals ONLY if:
- Pending withdrawals: 24 hour passed and your withdrawal is still “Pending”
- Missing coins: Your withdrawal is “Processed” but you did not receive your coin.
- Time wasting: You will be just creating unnecessary support tickets that won’t speed things up.
- Time frame: Give up to 24 hours is the way the system works. If you don’t agree with this policy please find another market.
