I almost treated the request as part of the process.
The buyer asked for a photo of my ID and a short face video “just to confirm identity before paying.” The amount was small. The tone was polite. For a moment it felt like one more verification step.
Then I thought about a delivery driver asking for your house keys “only to make sure the address is correct.” The request sounds connected to the task. It is not. It moves sensitive control outside the system meant to handle the interaction.
On Binance P2P the platform already manages identity through its own checks. The protected process does not require sending ID photos, face videos, or bank screen recordings to the other party. Crypto stays locked in escrow. The conversation belongs inside the app so a record exists. The only confirmation that matters is the money actually appearing in your own account. A request for personal data sits outside that process.
I refused, kept everything on the platform, and opened an appeal when the trade could not continue normally. The discomfort of saying no was smaller than the risk of handing over material that could be reused.
When someone asks for personal documents during a simple trade, the request itself is the signal. It means the interaction is being pulled onto ground the platform does not protect.
