Title: newbie questions, please and sorry
Post by: jesustown1 on February 04, 2013, 12:13 am
iv got a few questions iv been looking for the answer but have not yet found. first, theres a place to put a pin number under address box in shopping cart when buying an item, didnt see this on the tutorial website (gwern,com or something?), i was just wonderring if this is supposed to be there? i know, dumb question but i just wanted to make sure im not doing something stupid. and 2. after i placed order and went to my pending orders, theres no button to finalize. the vendor requests fe for customers with less than 5 orders, which i obviously fall under this categorie. will a finalize button show up after the package is in transit or something? i will continue to search for answers but id love feedback on these questions, everything was so easy up until the actual purchase  :-\

Yes enter your pin number, the one you used when you set up your silkroad account(4 digits), when there is no fe options it usually means the order has not been processed yet. Just be patient.
Some vendors request FE thats fine if they have at least 300 transactions behind them and there feed back looks good and also check the forums for there name.
Some one soon will be along to clarify this or amend it if i got some of it wrong..

o the pins only four digits?  :-[ crap i think i put in the wrong pin but the orders still say processing. is there any way to fix this or did i actually put in the right one, since it actually went through to processing and took funds out of my account? and i did take some time in picking out a seemingly trustable vender cuz i saw that you shouldnt fe no matter what like 4 times but doesnt seem like many venders let first time buyers order without fe

the pin number is whatever you set it to be upon initial sign up..
i surely hope you didn't use only a 4 digit pin!!
that's the only protection you have from someone spending your coin if your account happened to be compromised!!
my pin is 22 digits long!!

and it wouldn't have let you complete your purchase if you entered the wrong pin!!
so, be safe and good luck!!
