The Farmer's Market generated revenue through commissions based on the size of each purchase. An estimated 3000 people in all 50 U.S. states and 34 other countries made transactions and, according to DEA estimates, the site processed about $1 million between 2007 and 2009, and in 2011 the owners reaped $261,000 through PayPal alone.[2][4][5][6][7] The site allowed for several forms of payment including cash, PayPal, Western Union, Pecunix, and I-Golder. To blur the path between customers, the site, and sellers, additional parties known as "cash drops" were paid a fee to receive payment from customers and forward it in another payment form to one of multiple bank accounts or mailing addresses in Panama and elsewhere.[8][9] Among the drugs sold at the site were LSD, MDMA, mescaline, fentanyl, ketamine, DMT, hashish, and marijuana, some of which carry substance-specific criminal penalties, depending on country.[4][6][10]
