Where to start

If you have never used a market like this, read the first order guide from top to bottom before doing anything else, then set the account up alongside the security guide rather than afterwards. The two together cover the decisions that are difficult to change later, which is a short list but an important one.

If you have ordered before and something specific is unclear, the payment and escrow guides stand on their own. The address switching guide is worth reading before you need it rather than during an outage, since the whole point of it is that the thinking should already be done by the time an address goes quiet.
