[X-post from /r/onions] Simple Tor Shop hosting / creation advice?

Throwaway account here,

I see a great number of services such as 'TorShops' and other hosting services which claim to allow users to sell items online anonymously.

Does anyone have advice or a tutorial link to setting up a simple webpage to sell items for BTC? What is the simplest way to sell items online using hidden services?

I bet there is a post that I missed that has great advice. Any help is much appreciated!

PM me, I'm working on a torshop that allows a variety of functions, requires no database, and is only around 3MB in size.
I also have experience with darknet hosting (the services, I don't host myself).

The way you can handle an onion site is the same that for a classical internet site.

you will need a server, rented in an hosting company probably.

Then you have two parts in the developement of the site, the front site and the bitcoin system with hot, cold, and online wallets.

As you probably have seen, manage a secured bitcoin system, with possibly escrow, that will not be hacked,will work well and will not be attacked is pretty hard...

To my point of view the best way to begin to sell items using hidden services for Bitcoins is to set up a shop on a DarkMarket.

So you can focus on the business and not on the technical and security aspects of bitcoin and hidden networks that are not so easy to manage.

I'm not running from LEO's and my item is legal to sell (books). Does anyone have anything relevant to add here? The title says hosting NOT "run away and hide"...

Perhaps I should have added the [Serious] tag.

Any help is still greatly appreciated, so long as it is on topic.
