Title: Help with first purchase
Post by: canada420 on February 26, 2012, 09:37 pm
hello, I made a purchase recently and I just want to have a few things cleared up if possible..

firstly:
how do I finalize my order? so far I have placed an order with tony76 (sent the bitcoins and put my name/address in the box)

when I go to orders it says its processing, but in tony's product description it says I have to finalize before he will ship it

do I have to wait for it to finish processing, then I finalize? or do I have to contact tony or something? I am very confused.

secondly:
I plan on staying here and making several orders in the near future, so would it be a good idea to learn to use PGP, or is it unnecessary?

any help is much appreciated.

Yeah you've basically got the idea, when tony marks it as shipped after it's finished processing the option to finalise will appear for you.

It is a good idea to learn PGP if your planning to stay and provides that extra layer of security for you.

thanks for the quick response and help

I'll start reading this PGP guide and learn more about it, because you can never have too much security

thanks again for the help
