Hi guys, sorry in advance if this has been covered. I tried to utfse and couldn't find anything related to my question:
I've just made my first two orders and in both where it asks you for a mailing address, I encrypted the destination address using the seller's posted PGP key. In one of them, I also posted my PGP key in case the seller wanted to contact me for some reason.
My question being, did I fill out the mailing address properly by pasting the PGP encrypted destination?
Also, when encrypting, there's an option to sign the content, which I didn't use (left unchecked). Is that gonna be a problem?
Again, sorry if these questions probably make me sound retarded or suspicious for some reason which I don't know about.

Sounds like you did it right. No, there's no need to sign the message. Signing is a way of proving that you wrote the message. Since the vendor doesn't have any prior relationship or dealings with you, and because this is an anonymous market proving you are you doesn't accomplish anything.
