Collected from the situations where people get stuck. Short answers first, the page that goes deeper linked after each one.

Why are there three addresses?: Redundancy. One slow or blocked endpoint should not close the market, so there are several doors into the same storefront. They are equal: same listings, same account, same wallet. Details on the mirrors page.
Which of the three is the main one?: None. There is no hierarchy, and a page that labels one as “primary” and another as “backup” is inventing a ranking to sell something. Pick whichever loads.
What is the queue, and how long does it last?: The access queue is the market’s entrance, a spinner page that meters traffic. Seconds on a quiet hour, several minutes when the market is busy. Do not refresh it; a refresh sends you back to the tail. More in the step-by-step.
What is the page with the circle or square?: The captcha between the queue and the storefront. You click the shape that has a cut in it. It exists because the market sits where bots can find it.
Is Black Ops invite-only?: Accounts have historically come by invitation through existing members. Browsing the storefront works without an account. An email selling an instant account is a product, and you are the packaging.
Is there an app for phone?: On Android, Tor Browser is an app and works like the desktop version. On iOS, Onion Browser does the same job. There is no app-store build of the market itself; anything in an app store named after it is a website in a frame.
Can I open the .onion in a normal browser?: No, it does not resolve outside Tor. A clearnet page that shows you the onion through a .watch or .to tail is a gateway, a middle server that reads your whole session. Fine to glance at, fatal to log in through. The verify page covers the check.
One address is slow. Is the market down?: Probably your circuit, not the market. Try a different address, then a new circuit, then a restart of Tor Browser. Only all three failing at once, with other people reporting the same, is a market-side problem. The checklist is in order for a reason.
How often do the addresses change?: Far less often than the dead links around them. Old threads and old bookmarks keep circulating years-old onions that still resolve to something, and that something is not always the market. When an address you trust stops matching the current ones, the current list wins. This is one: the three addresses.
Where do I type my password?: On the market, on one of the .onion addresses, after the queue and the captcha, with the .onion still in the address bar. Everywhere else is a stranger. The login page shows what the real form looks like.
Do I need an extension or a plugin?: No. Tor Browser is the whole setup. A site that asks for an extension to work is telling you what it wants to run on your machine, and on an onion that is a sentence worth pausing on.
What should I do on my first visit?: Verify the address bar, look at the wallet page, and read one vendor page top to bottom so the rep system makes sense. Then, and only then, order. The first-visit page walks through it.
