Returning an item via eBay's shipping labels | Postage

Hi all I've bought a brand new iPad on here that is no longer wanted. The seller has accepted the return, however the automated label that comes up only offers me the choice of a Royal Mail Tracked 48 label. My understanding is that Tracked 48 has a maximum compensation amount of £150, whereas the iPad I bought was £1000. As the label is being handled via eBay, would I be covered if the iPad was lost or damaged during transit with Royal Mail for the full amount of £1000, even though Royal Mail 48 only covers £150 worth of compensation. I've contacted Ebay on the phone, but they are not being particularly clear on what the answer is when I request something in writing (I just get sent generic support articles). Thanks all!
