Trouble with PGP Encryption

Just wondering if anyone would be able to help out with my PGP encryption. I can encrypt, sign, decrypt and verify my own messages but when I send a message to vendors using their public key, none of them can decrypt the messages.

I am on a mac, using GPG Tools - if that helps. Cheers

Though it was already stated, MAKE SURE YOU ENCRYPT USING THE VENDOR'S KEY!

This is more of an /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs post IMHO. I have not covered Mac PGP encryption but I intend to do so soon but in the meantime I am going to suggest something to try and help you out. Are you sure you are adding their PGP public key to your key chain and you are actually encrypting in their key?

Can you explain, in detail, the steps you take when you "send a message to vendors using their public key"?

I unfortunately don't have any experience with GPG Tools, but I'm very familiar with a number of other OpenPGP solutions.

Have you imported the vendors' public keys into your GPG Tools keyring?

when you make a purchase (click buy,) there's a box for your encrypted address, and below that is the vendor's public key. people don't recommend it but you can use igolder.com https://www.igolder.com/pgp/encryption/ and put in the vendors public key followed by your address in the second box and click "encrypt" to create your message. Send them the message that was created. It's a no brainer. Guaranteed to work. Probably don't want to use it to order 10 kilos, but nobody has kicked my door in yet and I order every month.
