Birth Certificate or Driver's License required for sale?

I sold an account about a year ago on this site and all that was required was a phone call. Now gold farmers from China are requesting a birth certificate or a scanned driver's license in order to purchase an account. What is up with this? I can just as easily do a phone call from a valid phone number, yet I have to reveal personal information that even employers in the States aren't allowed to demand.

There's a huge amount of credit card fraud involved with buying accounts online. Typically 10-20 fraudsters are watching these forums every day trying to scoop up accounts with stolen american paypals. I personally don't think a cell phone sized picture of your ID is a huge thing to ask for. Now a high-res scan is very different.
