Selling a gift voucher - how can I protect myself?

I have listed an gift voucher on Ebay that can be used at a UK attraction, it is worth £60. I have a reserve of £50 on it and free P&P, I will be sending it special delivery.
I have my buyer settings set so no-one with less than zero feedback or non payer strikes can bid.
Lo and behold someone with zero feedback is the highest bidder.
I am a bit cynical here as its a voucher and maybe more open to fraud than an actual tangible item.
Is there any more I can do.Thanks

Just let the auction run and see who wins?
So long as they pay with Paypal, and you send it to the registered Paypal address after Ebay say it's OK to send, and it's sent special delivery, then you're covered.
Use Google Earth to check the address is genuine.
(I'd double check that vouchers are given Paypal protection...)Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

Yep am selling on ebay, ebay give protection to the seller selling gift vouchers but paypal dont.
Luckily someone just bought it (it was up for BIN as well as auction) and they have lots of 100% feedback
so I'm sure it will be fine. You're not your * could have not of * Debt not dept *0 -

Ebay = paypal - doesn't matter which one is offering the protection - as long as all the rules are followed.0
