Maybe very few people are paying the extra for a service indistinguishable from the standard service.

No, a lot of people were paying for it given how quickly my PO went through their supplies and restocks, and I would often get priority letters to arrive to some destinations as fast as express packages would to the same areas (Tas and WA are the most notable exapmples, i.e. the next day delivery network was limited to the capital cities in those states, so when I would get FB 2 days after posting to non-city areas, it was pleasantly surprising).

Plus, I got a lot of feedback from buyers noting the faster delivery times, with some advising the main reason they bought from me all the time was the simple fact my stuff arrived faster than everyone else's. 

For me, it was worth every penny I charged buyers to send every letter priority.... (I'm being slightly facetious, but my postage charges didn't actually cover all costs incurred after fees, so I subsidised it a bit - using past tense as I will have to revise some things tonight).
