We encourage all our users to get their identity verified. However, verification is mandatory in the following cases:
Users who reach an equivalent of 1,500 USD in trade volume or wallet activity per year must complete ID verification.
All users from the USA, EU, Canada, UK, and OFAC grey list countries require ID verification to do wallet withdrawals and trades for any amounts.
Users who reach 10,000 USD in trade volume or wallet activity per year must complete ID and address verification.
Users who reach higher trade volumes or engage in certain wallet activity may be subjected to enhanced due diligence and may be asked for additional information, including video verification.
Users trading bitcoin for cash in person and cash by mail for trades higher than 50 USD must complete ID and address verification.
Users wanting to create an offer to buy bitcoin must complete ID verification.
Users wanting to create an offer to buy or sell bitcoin for cash in person and cash by mail must complete ID and address verification.
According to their terms, yes you can... but you need to keep total trading volume and wallet activity below 1500 USD. But, there is a victim asked to fill KYC even though he didn't reach the limit [1] So, IMO paxful isn't the best exchanges if you want to avoid KYC, you can be asked to fill your KYC anytime if they want.
Since you're want to avoid KYC while buy and sell Bitcoin, I suggest to use P2P platforms (e.g. bisq [2], hodl hodl [3]) because you can trade without KYC.
