The question is, would genuine sellers be out off this if a buyer requested this level of communication?


If you're a regular seller I imagine you might just move on to the next potential buyer. But if you don't buy/sell often (like me), I'd rather transact with a buyer that tried hard to verify my identity since it gives me more assurance that they too are legit.
