I messaged a couple vendors just with basic questions regarding shipping and their products. Both initially with PGP encryption. One responded without encryption, then when I responded I responded with an encrypted message.
One hasn't responded for 24 hours, one responded within an hour, then hasn't responded since in 24 hours either.
These vendors just seem to be online a lot and very active. One claims he is online "all the time". I would expect a quick response. Am I just being impatient? Or does my account seem suspicious?
don't use pgp for general questions etc.. just use pgp for sensitive information like an address. it just takes longer for you and the vendor to communicate
