Vendor on dream market asking to not encrypt my details?

UPDATE: The vendor sent my coins back after explaining i wasn't comfortable sending my information through dream markets option of encryption.

I purchased something on dream market, then wrote my details, encrypted it with the sellers pgp key then pasted it and clicked on the encrypt check box then sent the encrypted details. This is what I do with every purchase from each vendors I use, but this is the first time using this one.

I received a message from the vendor saying he can't open it, so I thought maybe I clicked the wrong public key, but I copied the public key again and imported it and repeated the whole process. I checked again today and they wrote "no it's not working. Can you please not double encrypt, the first layer decrypts but the second one doesn't. Please click the encrypt box below to click this time."

I'm a little paranoid that the vendors been compromised and authorities have took over the account and baiting buyers but not able access the pgp account. You think it's best to ask for my money back? My account has 2fa if that's any help.

Never send not encrypted information. Never click the encrypt box on dream. Always encrypt yourself. Find a new vendor if he is not okay with this

Sounds a lot like a new German vendor I dealt with last week... don't encrypt using dreams option, it'll be safer if you encrypt it yourself using the vendors pgp. If they still can't decrypt it, then I say fuck it and move on buddy. Stay safe

learn to use real pgp, auto encrypt can easily be hacked espically when a site is seized ( see AB and Hansa). I wouldnt send my info unencrypted, at least dp privnote ( not that it is much better). Always and I mean always use real pgp, not the auto encrypt bs, the only time to not pgp is if it is a non sensitive information question. Anything involving personal information always pgp
