Title: urgent: entering shipping address when buying
Post by: tastylures on May 16, 2013, 06:55 am

Hello,

I was just wondering about this:
It says when you're checking out on a order that you should "Please enter your name and address
as it would be written on a letter:"
Now this seems like a vulnerable moment. Can I encrypt my shipping address with the seller's public key in a text file then copy and paste that into the box, or do I have to enter a plain text address...
THANKS!

Always, always, always for your safety PGP encrypt your address.

Yes, you should always encrypt sensitive information like your address!!

Yes, I assumed that I should. It's just the way they say "enter it just as it would be on an envelope"
They should say "encrypt your mailing address, the one that would appear on an envelope"

I believe completely in encryption. Better safe.
