Am I overreacting to this security concern?

Long story short, have/had a buyer for two listings on Alpha. When I see there is a buyer, I go and try to find his pgp key, and there was no key. Under buyer notes out in the open is his full address.
No encryption. I want to cancel the two listings because of this, it sketches me out. Am I overreacting to this?

you must be a new vendor as youll soon see theres plenty of buyers out there not encrypting and half those who do are using on site autoencrypt

I certainly wouldn't ship him drugs, pm him and tell him the issue, link him /r/darknetmarketnoobs while you are at it

This may be an unpopular opinion, but if he didn't care don't waste your time caring for him because you can't force people to care about OPSEX, and his Satoshis are exactly as valuable as anyone else's.

Put simply, you could do your job and make some money, or make no money, and then spend 5-15 minutes depending on if you're personally explaining things, and the person will likely submit his next order with a different vendor cleartext.

Either way you're not at risk and he will be regardless of your actions.

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to not deal with this individual. Better safe than sorry.

If I were a vendor and someone did that i'd cancel the order. You would probably end up find but IF they were to get busted, they'd come on here and be like " Fuckin placed an order with wiggitywhack and got c.d'd!. Dont order!!!" And believe it or not but the reddit chat really does move the needle in sales. Hence why some vendors will pay people to (or do it themselves) come on here and spew tons of love for themselves and hate on competitors.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS RUN A TIGHT SHIP.

Maybe cancel the order and enforce your own policy of only using encryption for sensitive information. I would definitely let the buyer know how much they are fucking up whatever you decide to do

I don't think you're overreacting. I'm not a master by any means but if this guy is this dumb about shit, who knows how terrible he is in other ways considering this is BASIC shit.

Don't send his pack. Cancel his order and tell him that he needs to properly encrypt his address. Linking him to the noob reddit would do him some good. If something does happen such as market gets seized you don't want an address and a pack being linked because that will only bring LE closer to you.
