I know the markets are pretty 'streamlined' now, but just a heads up to anyone thats going to start using them. Always PGP encrypt everything yourself on your end. Most markets have a tick box to auto PGP with the vendors key when you message them/when you order. Never use that. If you do, you are sending unencrypted personal info over TOR that could get picked up by an LE exit node or someone working for the market or even someone that has compromised the market.

Always get the vendors PGP key, add it to your keyring, encrypt your info in your program and then copy/paste into the message box. Emphasis on the program there because I read about people doing all their PGP stuff on a fucking website, you are basically just handing your information out to people using online tools. Never trust the markets with anything. When you buy something, only send enough money to your market wallet for your purchase/shipping and maybe a few extra bucks to cover BTC fluctuations. A market could exit scam at anytime. There is never more than like $5 worth of BTC in any of my market wallets at any time.

Another tip... you can never trust a vendors word that they delete personal information of their customers. I always assume they don't. It sucks but if you ever get ripped off or get shitty product and want to speak up about it, you want to go about it the nicest possible way because that person might still have your name and address. Try to fix things personally before you go bad mouthing them on a forum or something. You never know what they are going to do with your doxx. At the same time, don't use fake names or anything, that raises suspicion with USPS. USPS workers will notice if a random name is getting a package delivered to an address that the name has never appeared at before. I know this for a fact because when I moved to my current location I had mail from my school sent to the house before I moved in with my roommate and they were writing question marks on the envelopes until my roommate told the mail lady I was moving in soon. Keep everything legit. I suggest a PO box, they are the shit. You don't have to wait for deliveries with them.
