  Paypal won't cover you regardless -

  Eligibility

  S10.1 You may be eligible for the PayPal Buyer Protection Policy if all the following requirements are met:

  You use PayPal as your payment method;
  Your payment is less than $20,000;
  Your payment is not a Personal Transaction and is made through:
      The “Checkout with PayPal” button or by otherwise selecting 
  

  Your purchase is not for:
  Vehicles (including cars, motorcycles, caravans, boats and planes);
  Real estate;
  …
  Quasi-cash items such as gift cards, pre-paid cards or deal vouchers;
  …

  Always a bit iffy when selling / buying gift-cards.

    Wise move.

    Alternatively you can direct deposit into my account and I can pick up the card for you.

    Sure you wouldnt trust me, as you dont know me, likewise for someone on Gumtree you will never meet
