Hello again,
I have secured my coins, and am all ready to begin, I'm going to start by ordering 5 books like the guide suggested, but I have a few questions I would like to clarification on if I could, just to make sure I don't make any stupid mistakes off the bat.
1. The encrypting of my address/info, is this a requirement or a recommendation? Am I allowed to submit my address as is, or do I have to use the encryption/public key?
2. I have several items I want to order. I am assuming it is not a good idea to order multiple things at the same time, so how long do you think is safe to wait after making one order before I should place another? How long do you all normally wait between orders?
3. I plan on doing the "Return to Sender" writing on my packages, but I don't know whether I should open the package first, or leave unopened. If I open it, and god forbid something should happen, I would think they would say, "Why didn't you call the police when you saw the contents?" BUT if I don't open it, I can see them saying "How do you know that you didn't order it, or it isn't for you if you don't even know what's inside?"
Thank you all, can't wait!

You are being overly paranoid. And about the books, I haven't read the guide you are referring to but sellers can see how much you've spent and how many transactions you've done so it is pointless to buy digital books to boost buyers rating...

Thank you for the help guys, with it I am confident with my first real usage of this place.
And thanks for bringing me back down to the ground by telling me I'm over worrying, I thought I might not be worried enough!
Feel much better now.

Dont bother with the books. Order smaller things to start with to gain confidence both for yourself and for vendors.
About the return to sender thing: Yeah, I thought I would do the same. However, I was so excited I ripped the package open and danced around the house when it arrived. Its highly unlikely the cops will bust your door down for buying a g.
*disclaimer, I base all my opinion on nothing.

Don't bother buying the books for stats. When we look at your TX history and see that shit it just makes us avoid you like the plague. For me it's an instant "Errrr fuck righhhht off" pisses me off that people even try that shit.
