I noticed something when trying to ask a question: why trades can still go smoothly even without providing a phone number as required, and what that says about the gap between the "stated conditions" and the "actual conditions" applied on Binance P2P.
The advertising terms that the merchant writes themselves aren’t required to pass through any verification layer to ensure feasibility or make enforcement mandatory — the merchant can write anything they want, but writing it down doesn’t mean the system will enforce it or that the merchant truly checks it before disbursing funds. This is the gap between the text and real behavior — "rules on paper" differ from "rules that are applied."
This creates an interesting psychological situation: readers tend to assume every line in the terms binds equally, while in reality some conditions are merely formalities, and others actually affect whether funds get released. There’s no way to tell the difference in advance by reading the text alone.
From this angle, ignoring a seemingly unnecessary condition — like not sending a phone number yet the transaction still completes — accidentally becomes a real-world test to find out what kind of condition it is. But this is a high-risk test.
Counterargument to myself: "just ignore it and see" isn’t a safe strategy for encouraging behavior, even if this time it went smoothly — the better approach is to ask again in the chat before deciding.
I’m waiting to see whether Binance P2P has a way to clearly distinguish truly mandatory conditions from merchant recommendations only, so buyers don’t have to experiment to figure out the difference.
