should you be using a different pgp key for buyer/seller accounts?

Yes. A completely different profile and pgp for the two actions. The two should be separate.

If one has used the same pgp profile for both accounts in the past, whats the chance your info has been compromised?

The reason you should have two separate accounts with different PGP keys is so that your delivery address isn't associated with a vendor account. If you used the same PGP key then the two accounts could be linked together. However, I doubt any of the vendors you purchased from would ever notice. You just better hope you didn't make a purchase from a LE or compromised vendor account :o
I think it's a very small chance your info has been compromised. However, always use different PGP info in the future :)
