I figure its not that big of a deal because its a buyers account. But I do have a good amount of positive reviews and successful orderes. Do i Just need to make a new account since I can't sign into account settings with 2fa pgp because its expired?

If your keys are expired then you lost them forever. You'll have to generate another pair of PGP keys. Hope you didn't have too much money on your buyer's wallet that you lost.

This is incorrect /u/Poop_aids_coffee you can extend your subkeys as long as you have access to your PGP key. Generally speaking you will just let support on the market know and pass the updated PGP key. The fingerprint of the key will be the same to show that you are who you say you are.

Most people don't know about subkeys so it's a common mistake people make. In the past there wasn't any subkeys but now there is. It makes it possible for keys to be generated that can only do a certain thing. Like sign things, encrypt things, or authenticate things. OpenPGP standard on RSA, one of the many reasons why it's a standard on the darknet.

on WHM is does say that if your pgp key expires they do not allow resets so it looks like im out of luck on it. Edit: I deleted my account and extended my pgp times. Then made a new account with the same user name and PGP key. When I logged in all of my stats were still there!
