The conduct of a careful buyer on Crown
The practices seasoned buyers keep that newcomers do not. None are secret; most are simply habit worn smooth.
Always copy mirrors; never retype them. A v3 onion runs to fifty-six characters. Copy it from the register.
Bookmark the register, not the onion. The register turns with the operator; a bookmarked onion eventually expires.
Read the vendor profile before you order. Crown displays feedback count, on-time-shipment ratio, and dispute outcomes on the profile.
Apply the rating filter on every category page. Featured listings are seated ahead of best-rated by default.
Fund in Bitcoin or Monero. Crown accepts both, so choose the coin you hold. Monero lifts the chain-analytics tail risk, while Bitcoin works just as well, and the on-chain fee is slight either way.
Grant the dispute desk its published window before you escalate. Tickets are processed in order.
Commit your seed and your two-factor material to a password manager on day one. Account recovery is heavy with friction.
