Off Topic Sale question regarding digital gift cards and paypal

[Prixton]

I received a gift card through an email for my birthday, which I am trying to resell on Ebay. I've noticed a lot of people on ebay sell gift cards and email the winning bidder the gift card, which sounds faster, easier, and cheaper than trying to mail anything through the post office, and that is how I intended to deliver this gift card to the winning bidder. However it occurs to me that for a seller to be protected on Paypal against fraudulent charge-backs, they must provide proof of shipping (usually a tracking number is required). I figured there must be some consideration given to items that can be sent digitally via email, but when I tried to find info on this on Paypal's website it basically said that "digital" items are generally not covered under Paypal's seller protection policy. So, on the one hand, it seems like my question is answered right there, but on the other hand, tons of people sell gift cards (and other items) digitally like that every day so maybe there is some other loop hole I couldn't find? Any information would be helpful, I just want to make sure I'm protected against any unscrupulous Ebay buyers...
Thanks.

Selling electronic gift cards can be tricky. You’re not protected under EBay's Seller Protection if you send the code via email. Also gift card scams are abundant.

This is a quote from their policy page.
 

Not allowed
Gift card codes or electronically delivered gift cards
Prepaid credit cards (or money cards) from American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa. For details, see our credit and debit cards policy.
Store or merchandise credit in the form of a receipt

Here is the link to their Gift cards policy:

There are to many deadbeats out there to not cover yourself 100%.
