How to sell a CeX voucher on ebay?

I'm selling a voucher on ebay but I'm unsure how to go about it so I don't get stung. Are there any safety measures I should follow or do you have any tips.

    Video record start to end, until goods are exchanged with post office


    Lol, as if ebay take video evidence of you packaging up a letter and going to a post office into consideration

    A complete waste of time

    And then the scammer buyer does a paypal charge back claim for a non working voucher.
    Personally comment #1 is the best advice.

    Never ever list a voucher on eBay as they scam people over £10 never mind £600 ! (edited)

    The comment you replied to is one of the most useless pieces of advice given regarding eBay sales.

    Yes, AVForums does have a Voucher Codes classified trading forum. However, make sure that anybody offering to buy is a long established member with a high trading feedback score. (Even that is not a 100% guarantee you won't get scammed of course). Also, if you are a new forum member they will expect you to provide the voucher before they pay.

    Why didn't you accept cash from CEX in the first place?

    Thanks. Managed to sell it on Avforums for 510 which is more than I would've likely gotten from eBay or cardyard

    Yes well there was enough proof in the messages that were exchanged through ebay. I am an honest seller.

    /r/hardwareswapUK, it'll sell there at 80% too. One of the mods usually snaps them up instantly and I've never had any troubles selling on there.

    List the voucher for sale like you would normal. Includes pictures showing the worth of voucher but covering the voucher number bit. Some sellers will only post whilst other will happily email the voucher details after payment. If you do sell on eBay I'll suggest you post the voucher instead

    The only way i would sell a £600 voucher is cash on collection or bank transfer, if you involve Paypal or Ebay payments you can kiss it goodbye. (edited)

    as others have said it might be best to avoid eBay altogether it’s such a large amount of money to lose should anything go wrong and it could / likely willgo wrong with eBay. (edited)

    You could use eBay just say it’s cash or bank transfer on collection. I sold a few items recently for collection and buyer received a qr code which seller scans on completion of sale confirming item has been collected.

    CARDYARD pay 81% I think.
    I've sold amazon vouchers on there without issue.

    I would buy things with the voucher and then sell those items.

    Avforums is better as you can see the sellers trading history and can see if their honest or not.
