It is very easy for the buyer to get caught:

- Buy BTC from an exchange with KYC and then send it to the seller (police)

- Receive the product by post or collect it at a pick-up point where the seller (police) knows the address.

What strategies can the buyer follow to protect his privacy and trust the seller?

Use monero. There’s a reason why the second largest (now the largest, I guess) market only takes monero now.

[Tenoke]

1. Always encrypt your messages personally before messaging a seller.

2. Pick trustworthy sellers with a long history and good reviews.

3. Use monero (or shuffle your btc).

4. Make a new account with a unique username for every purchase.

5. Order only domestically.

Also live in a country where posesion is not a crime.

Receiving a package at your address does not make you a criminal. In this situation the police really have no case.
