Re: prove that from day one he wanted to deal in drugs
Unlike you, the judge is an educated person.
They do not have to prove that was his intention from day one. They only have to prove that at the time he was captured, a significant purpose of the site he was running was to run drugs, and that he knowingly promoted it as such. The captured chats and email are sufficient to bind him over for trial.
As for Amazon and eBay, so long as the people running the sites are:
1) Not actively promoting it for those purposes in advertising, and
2) Taking reasonable actions when notified of such activity, particularly when the notification comes from law enforcement
you aren't engaged in money laundering, drug running, or other felonies.
