No, it's not safe, try to use GPG and choose vendors that use it too.

No lie here. Learn gpg, it's worth it. Fly loose if you want to get caught, that attitude infects the way you do business. Putting you at risk.

I might be wrong, but Privnote could be a big honeypot, and there really is no reason to use it when you have easy access to PGP.

I used it once, before I figured out pgp. But everything I've read about privnote suggests that its far from secure.

Rumor has it that it (privnote) was bought/overtaken by the "three letter mafia" (DEA/CIA/FBI etc) but who knows for sure.
The only thing privnote gives you as a security feature is that they "promise" you to erase your note after it´s been read once, but who knows if they do keep their promise? 
Either way it´s safer, according to me that if you don´t have the option of using pgp/gpg than writ the address in plane text (this I only recommend if you´r buying something "legal" (pipes, papers etc) ).

Never use privnote!
