Support FAQ

How do I recover my account if I lost my credentials?
Use your mnemonic recovery phrase through the account recovery option on the login page. If you don't have your recovery phrase, contact support with your PGP key for identity verification.
What information should I include in a support ticket?
Include your username, a detailed description of the issue, relevant order numbers, screenshots (if safe to share), and the steps you've already tried to resolve the problem.
Can I contact support about a vendor dispute?
Yes, but first try to resolve the issue directly with the vendor. If unsuccessful, open a dispute through the order page, then contact support if mediation is needed.
Is my support communication private and secure?
Yes, all support communications are encrypted and private. PGP-encrypted messages offer the highest level of security for sensitive matters.
What if I suspect my account has been compromised?
Immediately change your password, enable 2FA if not already active, and contact our emergency support team. Provide details about suspicious activity you've noticed.
