Title: Question about using name on address...
Post by: alphabetsoup696969 on May 13, 2013, 04:43 pm
First time user here, and I have a question about putting my name on the address I'm giving to a vendor.

When you send the buyer your address, how long do they have that for? Like for example if they got busted and the feds could log onto their account, could they see where all their orders have been shipped out to?

I'm guessing realistically this is nothing to worry about if I'm just making small orders, but I'd like to be safe as possible. I'm guessing putting a fake name or something like "Current Resident" would only make the package more suspicious.

Buyer details should ALWAYS be encrypted using PGP so as only the vendor can read them, and are deleted once the item is marked 'in transit'. Vendors are required, by the terms set out in the Seller Contract and Seller's Guide, never to save addresses. If they do, and it is found out, their vending privileges are immediately revoked.
