Title: Placing multiple orders at once
Post by: Banjo on July 06, 2012, 04:10 pm
So I have several items from several vendors in my account, but there's only one box to send a message. Is it kosher to  simply put my address in there multiple times, each encrypted with one of the vendor's keys? If they paste all the encrypted messages into GPA, it should only decrypt the appropriate one. Or would it be better to just send them all a clear text message saying, "I'll PM you my address". Or, would it be best to just add each item to my cart, and place the orders one at a time?

I don't want to cause the vendors undue inconvenience, but I have seven different items (each from a different vendor) and going through each one at a time seems like a pain in the ass.

A pain in the ass? How quickly some forget what it was like to source 7 different buys from 7 local vendors. Just do it individually and lessen the suspense if and when your order is processed.

when you're encrypting, can't you choose multiple people to have access?

i've done this before, just type up my address, highlight, encrypt, then choose the 5 vendors i'm buying off, paste the encrypted message in the box, all good

@Spamalama haha true. My current order before SR would have required running all over town and making god knows how many phone calls. If I could even find someone who has what I want.

@Spacewasp, I didn't know you could do that. I'll have to give it a try

+1 that works. Just an FYI though, it will prompt you to enter the password for each key you encrypted the message to, so each vendor will be able to see who else you've ordered from. That may also confuse vendors who aren't very familiar with PGP.
