Three mirrors, no hierarchy
No primary, no backup, no queue priority. When one will not open, the move is the same.

Why the market runs more than one
One onion address is one attack surface. A market that sits behind a single address has a single point to flood, block, or watch. Running three mirrors spreads the traffic and shrinks what any one address has to absorb. It is also a hedge against the slow kinds of trouble: a mirror that gets flagged, a route that degrades, a node that misbehaves. Multiple mirrors keep the storefront reachable when one path is not.
It is not redundancy for its own sake. The awazon market mirrors exist because a single address is fragile at the scale the market carries, and DDoS pressure on one does not have to take down the whole shop.
There is no main mirror
The phrase "the primary address" does not describe anything real here. There is no main mirror and two backups, no hierarchy, no queue priority. Three addresses, one storefront. Each awazon market mirror opens the same categories, the same listings, the same accounts. Whichever one you reach, you are at the market.
If a guide or a forum post calls one of the three "the main one", that is an invented ranking. The market does not assign it, and it does not behave differently because of it.
When one will not open
The procedure is one step: open a different mirror. That is the whole move. No escalation, no waiting for a fix, no support ticket. If the first address sits in the Access Queue forever or drops the connection, the second one is the answer, and the third is the backup for the backup.
A dead mirror is normal rotation, not a sign the market is gone. The set changes, an address stops resolving, and the storefront keeps running on the rest. If a mirror from an old list will not load, the cause is on not loading. The current set is on addresses.
Why mirror lists disagree across directories
The set rotates, and directories store lists at different times. One catalog holds the set from months ago; another refreshed it recently. Neither is wrong about what it captured, and the older one is simply stale. When two directories show different awazon market mirror sets, the question is not which is correct, it is which is current.
The market publishes its mirror list as a PGP-signed message, and that signature is the only arbiter. A list that cannot be tied to the signature from the market's key is a snapshot of unknown age. The verification routine, including the key fingerprint, is on verify.
