I sold an expensive gift card recently. The buyer emailed me to say he would be paying me tomorrow and NOT to mail card, just email him the gift card # and the PIN.
If I just email him that info, can't he come back later and claim non-receipt?

Ask him why he doesn't want it mailed. I would be very careful, especially with an expensive gift card.
One the one hand, he might just be a wonderful person who wants to save the expense and carbon footprint of an unnecessary mailing. OTOH, he might be a dirtbag who wants to file for non-receipt. Sadly, I think you have to protect yourself against the latter. In my experience, if he's the former, he'll understand why you have to protect against the latter.

If he intends to use the gift card online, all he needs is the info he requested, but to protect myself, I would send him a receipt with a DC so I have proof of the transaction and hold onto all correspondence. Also, you could track the use of the gift card online yourself since you will still have the original #s.

Send him the whole enchilada (gift card and DC and signature confirmation),once he gets the card,he can do whatever he likes!

I have had similar experiences. Always follow your gut instinct and the rules set forth by paypal. That is the best you can do.
