To Robert, the underlined is why I asked earlier and yes, it is relevant.
While some agree to ship the same day, the one making the trade request or offer tends to be the tick to the tick-tock shipping shipping sequence. I could agree to ship the same day to a person with whom history and trust have been built, but that is a personal exception. Insistence on a same day shipment by someone I am wary of who proposed a trade would be a reason for me to shut a still-forming deal down.
Regarding the furnishing of ID, I *want* people to ask to see my ID for a credit card transaction at a retail location. For my security. I *do not want* a cashier to expect that being given a preservable copy is reasonable. For my security. There are instances where this might be more acceptable (ESA-listed species deals to ensure legal compliance is being achieved in good faith), but I know I would not burden my customers with ID requests under conventional sets of circumstances.
Placing myself in Jason's shoes, the points above would be factors in my willingness to entertain or continue a transaction.
