Simple delivery insufficient item cover

[gemzii91]

I'm wanting to list a PC GPU for sale at around £700 but ebay is forcing me to use royal mail 48hr postage that as a max cover of £150, would i just be expected to take the loss on the chin or dose ebay cover this.

i would normally only use royal mail special delivery

SD automatically provides cover up to £750 for loss or danage in transit.  They issue the refund, seller keeps the payment.

the only option i see for postage is Simple delivery and the only option i see is royal mail 48hr.
are you saying after the item sell's i can pick u different postage option?

SD is £17, ebay is charging £7 on the listing

Ebay cover items for up to £750 even if the service they are offering is RM 48.  I assume they have negotiated a deal with Royal Mail.

If the item is not delivered (lost in the post) or damaged in transit, it is covered up to £750 and Ebay would deal with the buyer's claim.

No, you can't pick a different service.   The one offered by SD is all you need as far as insurance cover is concerned.
