Hypothetically, I operate a big time hidden website kinda like amazon, and I tax each transaction on my website.
So if it was busted, how much time would I be doing? Note: the items on this hypothetical website is dr00gz...

What you are suggesting is conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
The penalties for that are pretty harsh, and depend on the amount of drugs that changed hands. Basically, you could be charged with all the drugs that your users sell.

That would be conspiracy to traffic a controlled substance. You could even get the kind of charges mafia guys get, if you were big enough. Conspiracy to facilitate an ongoing criminal enterprise or some such nonsense....
In other words, VERY serious charges. 20+ years, I would imagine.
A guy named Justin who went by the screen name "woot" owned / ran one of the biggest RC-discussion sites online got busted earlier in the year. Mind you, this guy WAS trying to be a vendor, himself, as well. But his charges were pretty hardcore. He was looking at decades-to-life I believe. For RESEARCH CHEMICALS. Look it up if you're not familiar.
While he was trying to sell, himself, I am of the opinion that they would have tried to charge him even if he wasn't. I also suspect his vending is halfway to entrapment, because someone else was actually buying and importing these chems for him, and that person was a cooperating defendant who had been busted previously.
Be safe, and most of all, be smart, no matter what you choose to do.

You'd better have a high-powered lawyer on retainer if you take this risk.

forever.
seriously.
Just logging onto your site and taking the money is probably wire fraud and money laundering, and that's before you even get to the issue of the drug conspiracy.

Forever is a long time.
Sounds like you have skills. Why not implement a better idea? Like tool sharing.
There is peer to peer car renting going on. What about peer to peer tool sharing? It is gonna be hot, and it is legal.

But, this was completely hypothetical.
I'm not technologically savvy to create an operation like that.

Do you own Silk Road? Don't know if Bitcoin is legally regarded as currency yet, so that might help.

No unfortunately I don't.
I'm interested in how fucked DPR would be if it went down though.
