I have now had two vendors (out of dozens of successful transactions) claim not to be able to decrypt PGP encryption of my address. The first time, I was new and used privnote; product came okay, everything was good, that was months ago.
Now a NEW vendor (with many good reviews though) selling a substance it's hard to get domestically in my country (that I am very motivated to acquire) claims he can't decrypt my PGP encryption and invited me to use privnote. I explained I would not use privnote and re-encrypted my address to his key, but I wonder if anyone else had had similar experiences and what it could mean. Encryption is a pretty standard process and I'm not really buying the "for some reason I couldn't read your message" thing.
I plan to cancel the order if he still claims he can't decrypt my message - but what could it mean? Dumb vendor? Genuine technical problem? Narc?
Thanks for any input.

sometimes the message doesn't copy over properly, I've had strange linebreaks and double spacings. check your message and see if looks as it should.

Thanks! The new encryption I just sent looks solid & properly formatted, hopefully it will work.

Yeah I re-sent it and he decrypted successfully - guess I was just being a paranoid cunt. Yay!
