I placed an order with a vendor and sent the guy my pgp encrypted address 3 times and he keeps responding with, "You need to send me your address using my key." So apparently I'm doing it wrong. I'm able to create messages that look like
- - - - -BEGIN PGP MESSAGE- - - - -

- - - - -END PGP MESSAGE- - - - -
But apparently nobody is able to read them D:
I was kind of hoping to have my package by now but at this point the vendor hasn't responded to me in a couple days. I'm very frustrated. Somebody, if you can, please help.

You need to copy his public key which will look something like this:

Then paste it in to a text file, save it and import it. Then when you encrypt a message choose his key as the target. Then copy and paste that to him.
Try it out using the key above and post an encrypted message and I'll let you know if I can read it or not.

I did that three times and each time he responded with "You need to send me your address encrypted with my public key.". Now all his listings are down and since I was using amnesia I no longer have his key, and he doesn't have his key posted anywhere besides on his listing. And he hasn't responded in a couple days. Basically I need to find out if/why my messages are supposedly undecryptable or if he was even attempting to decrypt them....

Just try it here with the above key to make sure you aren't screwing up somewhere, so we can at least rule that out.
