Few Noob questions, will appreciate help

Hey, Im complete noob to this stuff and Im about to do my first order and just wanted to clarify few things that I find unclear.

A. What are Unauthorized Purchases? Browing this sub I encountered this post and it really bothers me now.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/comments/4ccvvk/did_i_lose_my_btc_for_good_alphabay_content/

What I understand from this post that someone, possibly a false vendor can spend all my money that I have on market wallet on false purchase without my permission. Is that ture? Can someone explain it to me, please?

B. Extending Escrow. So, lets assume I order from USA od Canada to Europe. Letter can possbily go for over 2 weeks and from what I know Escrow automaticly finalize payment after 2 weeks passes.

So how to extend Escrow to not to lose money by accident? Should I contact market admins so they will do that or simply cancel Escrow and start new one? I didn't make even first purchase yet so I don't really know how even Escrow looks like so please don't be to judgmental.

C. Letters. Last thing that bothers me are letters that are send by vendors. Let's say I want to order 3 or 4 grams of weed. I can see how it goes into letter without problems. But what if I want to order 10, 20 or 30 grams? Is amount like this going to be delivered still in a letter or vendor will use parcel?

edit:

D. When I have no result here when typing vendor's name, where can I do some more research to check venodrs?

E. I have seen a lot of posts that states you should never FE but browsing several markets at the moment and there is plenty of vendors that are "FE only". Are things are now that different from year or 2 ago?

A) Enable two-factor authentication. JUST FUCKING ENABLE IT ALREADY, DON'T MAKE EXCUSES. You'll just cry later. If you're account's secure and you're paying attention, there will be no unauthorized transactions. Use and SECURELY SAVE a PIN for use on purchases, withdrawals, etc. JUST FUCKING DO IT.

2) Extending escrow - varies by market. Look for Dispute, Reclamation, and do on. If you don't have your product by finalize date or product is obvious shit, start this process depending on market requirements. All markets have help/info areas for you to learn specifics.

3) Packacing. Learn, study, research. Read reviews. If you use a quality vendor, you'll get quality shipping that will take stress out of the equation. Enough said. It will be reasonable, and it will be discreet. Now, going with vendors you HAVEN'T researched properly - DON'T FUCKING DO IT. The point is to be more cautious than needed, not less.

4) http://grams7enufi7jmdl.onion/infodesk - but walk softly if you find vendors with no mention here. That doesn't make much sense.

5) Again, research, read, and study. Granted, it's like gambling - don't involve money you can't afford to lose. If you FE, you're putting full faith and power in the vendor. If they're quality, this is OK. Mine have gone off without a hitch. Otherwise unless there's an amazingly good deal or no other option to override, stick with escrow for a bit of insurance.

Fly safe, young bird.
