Just sold a phone.... what postage?

I've just sold a faulty phone for £50. I've charged £5 postage so what service shall I use? I've stated in the listing its only going by a trackable source to hopefully deter the scammers but now I'm confused if I should send it special delivery or recorded?
Thanks

It must go special delivery which will cost you £5.05 as otherwise it is not covered against loss in the post.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

For the phone's condition and model this was a very pleasing sum

Well i put FAULTY three times in the listing in huge letters so that hopefully covers that one and I described the scratches and chip out of the screen so let's hope who's bought it can read
Thanks for everyones help0 -

Special delivery is pointless for sending phones, RM only cover phones at their minium compansation level. Using SD you are wasting £4.00 because it'll only be covered by the standard.0 -

How come all the mobile networks seem to dispatch new handsets by SD?0 -
