If you meet these conditions and the gun is a legally owned gun, then you don't NEED to have any paperwork done to make the sale.
However, I would recommend that you draw up a simple Bill of Sale stating what is being sold, who the buyer and seller are, date of the sale, and amount gun is being sold for. Then both Buyer and Seller sign the Bill of Sale and furnish a copy of the Bill of Sale to each for their records.
I'm not an attorney and this is not to be construed as legal advice.

As a seller, I don't know how you could verify items 2, 3, and 5. I don't think you need to do a background check for a private sale. The safest thing to do would be to require the buyer to have a Florida concealed carry permit.
