Have you taken a look at OpenBazaar[1][2]?

I know about it, but I've also seen somewhere that they kind of distanced themselves from the "dark market" idea when they got funded by Union Square Ventures and Andreesseen Horowitz among others.

It might be the solution, I haven't checked it out yet.

It doesn't work on Tor and the developers have no interest in making it work.
Looks like its open source, so interested parties will be able to implement Tor support.
It does but the developers think it would be hard and you'd have to audit the code for information leak points. You might as well just write a replacement from the ground up with that in mind.
