they've gone up not down. I would be questioning the accuracy of that message you have from ebay0

Just to point out that the Post Office I visited yesterday (in a medium size town inside WHS) could not offer over the counter Tracked 24 and 48 services as their system had not been updated.
Their system had been updated to reflect the increase in prices though...0 -

The "24" and "48" monickers should be dropped, as they're not genuinely 24 and 48 hour services.

source?
still says £150.00 here: https://www.royalmail.com/sites/royalmail.com/files/2024-03/online-price-guide-april-2024-v1-ta.pdf
i'm still a bit miffed that the ebay information still says the service price is reducing, reduction of compensation would be worse.
edit. also just gone through the purchase process on the RM website and it says £150.000 -
