ASAP Market, formerly known as ASEAN Market, was struggling for success in 2020. As far I know, the marketplace got some traction when it was listed on dark.fail in December 2020.
Since then, the team behind ASAP has been working hard to provide users with anti-scam measures and active community presence. And guess what? The marketplace has become one of the best darknet marketplaces in 2023.
And that’s not it, there’s so much about this marketplace that you must have missed. So without any further ado, let’s get started!

Major Updates & Concerns About Asap Market in 2023
Don’t Create Tickets for Lost Pins/Passwords
The ASAP market has mentioned that they don’t reset lost pins, which means that if a user loses their account information, they need to create a new account. If a deposit is missing, this may indicate that the user was phished.
Note: Vendors should not create a ticket for missing withdrawals as this will be auto-refunded to their market wallet.
Stop Cloning Listings
Recently ASAP market admins have warned vendors that if they clone listings, their withdrawals will be blocked and they will face a $2000 penalty. The company will also auto-refund failed withdrawals into a vendor’s market wallet, so no ticket needs to be opened in such cases.
Unexpected Redirect to Home Page Issue
Admins acknowledged that users were experiencing unexpected redirects to the homepage, which was causing frustration. Now that issue is resolved as well.
Search Bug Fixed
The marketplace team has successfully fixed the search bug where shipping labels were mixed up.
Buying on Asap Market

- Add the items you want to purchase to your bucket and double-check your orders before checkout.

Order Issues

Fake Review Detector (FRD)
- The market has a Fake Review Detector (FRD) to detect almost all possible fake reviews
- All feedback is genuine and any fake reviews detected will be deleted to keep all feedback clean

Verdict
It is however true that ASAP Market looks deficient in contrast to some of its larger competitors. It does not appear to grow significantly and looks like it’s encountering a number of issues. Although they’ve been in business for less than a year, ASAP has successfully retained every client’s funds while offering a market for them to sell them. If, on the other hand, you are receptive to new experiences, there is nothing to say about them. So as long as you’re willing to try new things, it could worth your time and effort.
ASAP Market FAQ
Yes, ASAP is available on the onion version. Infact it’s more secure on the onion version than it is on the open web. So always access it on Tor especially before making any inquiries or purchases on the market.
Well, just like any other dark web marketplace, ASAP has tried to accomodate vendors from all walks of life. From hard drugs to credit cards, Asap has most of these goods under one roof.
Who are the administrators behind the operation of this market? Most administrators of dark web platforms usually prefer to remain anonymous. This is purposefully to hide from the authorities.
Yes, you just inform the administrators.
Yes, the market is up and running. Just register an account with them and always make sure you use the right links accessible through the Tor browser.
As discussed earlier, people can make payments through Bitcoin or Monero.
Anybody, even you!
High traffic of withdrawal requests caused the system to fail in processing your withdrawal. If your withdrawal fails, you’ll get a refund back to your market wallet. I got my refund within 24 hours. In fact, I made a ticket for this and the customer service told me I don’t have to create a ticket for such issues.
To extend the Auto Finalize (AF) timer, please click on the AF timer button 72 hours before the timer is up. If your order may take up to a month to reach its destination, you can dispute the order and state that you need to extend the AF timer. Always check with the vendor for the estimated time of arrival.
There are only 3 sites you can trust at this moment.

Asap.fail
Dark.fail
Anything else apart from these are spreading phishing links. Recently, one of the admins of ASAP market posted this: 
If you have made a deposit and it has not been reflected on your account, create a ticket and provide your transaction ID or transaction hash. Here’s a pro tip: If you’re a new user on any marketplace, I’d suggest you make a small test deposit to avoid any unnecessary financial loss due to active phishing attacks. Get verified market links from trusted sources like dark.fail and bookmark market links to avoid mistakenly logging onto phishing links. Also, note that users deposit addresses will never change unless requested to do so.
Deposits below the minimum amount will be treated as malicious deposits due to the potential for “dusting” attacks, which can infect wallets and result in other users being tracked by attackers through the blockchain. To avoid this malicious activity, the marketplace purges all deposits below the minimum to keep their system and users safe.
If you are unable to create a ticket, it indicates that you may have fallen victim to a phishing link and most probably have been scammed.
