[Vendor/MarketInquiry] wary of "send me your address again..." help

http://imgur.com/Y487ZPd Nervous about a vendor asking me to resend address. should I ask him to sign a message? or just send it in PGP? It was sent in PGP the first time.

Ask him why'd he need it...if you do, use the original pgp key you used before.

I dunno. xanaxxanaxxanax had a good suggestion - before sending your addy, ask why. I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I believe on Agora once an order is marked as shipped your addy is no longer accessible to the vendor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I see he marked as shipped, then asked... so if what I'm saying is accurate that could be the reason - he marked as shipped before printing the shipping label and its no longer accessible.

And IF you decide to proceed, do not use any other key than what you used originally as xanax suggested. Personally I'd skip it. Its probably nothing but I personally wouldn't risk it and just move on.

Agora wipes buyer addresses once the order is marked "Confirmed" or "Shipped." If something happens to that address -- i.e. your computer crashes before you can print it out -- the vendor must go back to the buyer and ask him to resend the address. The Grand Wizard suspects this is what is going on here.

Agora wipes your address of you even look at agora.

Any status update will wipe it, even one asking for more information, buyer intervention required, clicking "confirmed" - anything but "pending".

Maybe he lost the envelope, or his printer ran out of ink, or he moved his laptop one centimeter, its power cable moved, and the battery stopped working years ago.

You will probably find it comforting to know that he didn't keep a record of your name and address....

....although he is the one person in the world you WANT to have your name and address because he's about to send you the only welcome item of mail you will receive all year.

If you intend to order from him again, ask him to write it down next to his Aunty after going to all this trouble to sneak it past evesdropping CIA and KGB spies.

If you sent it encrypted last time, do it again. At least use something like a quickforget note set to 2 views / 48 hours

Don't panic. I can tell you as a vendor on agora that the site has a hair trigger and that we're always being surprised to find that if we touch ANYTHING your address is "wiped for anonymity"

Tt pulls out the usb stick they were on and smashes it with a hammer on a spring, before machine-gunning it and setting fire to the dust.

Don't act all suspicious like the vendor is all part of the conspiracy to ruin your life, otherwise he will realize how young you are.
