I see many sellers and vendors use ICQ, I looked everywhere and couldn't find any info on how safe is interacting through ICQ, can someone please explain if there are any risks by using it?

Wow. I had no idea ICQ was still around. I was actually thinking about this randomly the other night because MXE makes me think about weird shit. For some reason out of nowhere I thought about the day it dawned on me that ICQ was so-named because it was like "I seek you."

Hi,
You would be best using the likes of Pidgin for XMPP chats, you can use an ICQ account through it, Jabber or any suppliers of anonymous XMPP servers such as calyxinstitute.
Pidgin can also be connected to through Tor as a Proxy using the IP 127.0.0.1 and port 9150
The final step is downloading the OTR (Off the record) plugin for Pidgin, this can be installed and enabled for conversations with Vendors and encrypts all chat end to end with no logs meaning your messages are all safe.
Let me know if you need any help setting up.
Edit there are a lot of XMPP servers that have onion links for their servers too, they are worth checking out!
