The shirt answer is NO. I know its a pain but even you need to ensure you get someone else on the other side that you can trust that you will get what you paid for. The same level of security is provided for the seller as much as for the buyer.
However, if anybody says to you that you can and then they nominate someone they know etc then Don't send your money, unless, of course you want to lose it all.
I hope this helps in at least advising you to not trust anyone unless proven otherwise.
Safest to buy via Binance or other similar platforms.
Safest? If Binance is what you define "safest", you're very wrong. And by the way, Binance does allow you to trade without any ID verification with certain limits. Still, it's NOT safe.
The way to go without verification is by using Bisq or by buying some BTC through an ATM, but I'd make sure I call the operator to ensure there will be no KYC imposed up to some limits. There are some people interested in taking face-to-face transactions too, and you can find some of them here on the forum (make sure you check your local board if you're not a native English speaker).
You can also buy from the
Marketplace, but make sure you're going to use a trusted middleman or you might be the next scam victim.
Unless you're going P2P, there's no guaranteed way you can buy or sell without being requested ID. I've been through this before and even if a website says you can use their exchange up to X BTC/day without verification,
there is a good chance you might be requested ID verification at one point.
Good luck!
