Title: When a vendor doesn't use PGP
Post by: mariposa62 on June 18, 2013, 05:05 pm
I was going to place an order with a reputable vendor (subsrgood) but he doesn't have PGP set up.  How do I get my shipping info to him?  Type it in to the box in plain text?  Send it privnote?

If everyone if typing it into the box and feels like that is secure, why are we using PGP in the 1st place?  Should I use a vendor that doesn't have PGP set up?  This guy has spectacular product and customer service reviews and I am very tempted.

Honestly I wouldn't worry too much if it's just a one time thing but hey you're better safe than sorry :) There are times when I really don't feel like going through the whole process so I just skip it and I haven't had any problems (yet) and if the guy has good feedback I'd say go for it.

That's really strange that such a reputable vendor doesn't have PGP set up. Have you tried messaging him first to verify?
