Canada Post Lettmail with Ebay International Shipping

Hello everyone.
I have a sale via Ebay International Shipping program.
It's a $6 free shipping blu ray and I have lettermail set as my Shipping. Everyone knows I can't print a label at that price.
Can I send this item and other items Via CP lettermail to the EISP hub? Or do I have to cancel this order and edit all my listings that ship with CP Lettmail.
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

Lettermail is accepted at hub but is a risk, as answered here:

 

https://community.ebay.ca/t5/Seller-Central/Ask-Us-Anything-eBay-International-Shipping-Canada/m-p/5...

 

"Lettermail deliveries, being untracked, do depend on more manual processes to connect the inbound item to its appropriate international destination. Coupled with the other uncertainties in untracked shipping, this does create more risk for the seller and makes it harder to fully benefit from all of eBay’s protection. That’s why we strongly recommend using a tracked service, though you can still send to the hub with lettermail."

Ok.
So it's a risk much like sending anything lettermail is. I am ok with this.
It makes sense to me to have the entire address including the EISP code on the mailer.
Thanks so much for the help!
I don't know what I would do without people like you and this community

The other "risk" sellers are now seeing, is that, though you can send in to the hub via letter mail, once it gets an EIS tracking number, eBay deems the transaction "shipped late" because tracking wasn't entered till after it reached the EIS hub.
I have brought this up to EIS Canada. Right now, all you can do is email them for defect removal until they can tackle how to fix this.

What effect does a "shipped late" or even a dozen have on our status?
I know we can retain our Global Top Rated Seller status even if we do little or no tracking. 

The Global TRS has different criteria than the US TRS, and the Global badge does not appear on the US site.

You could still create a label and send it expedited lite(if it qualifies - under 200grams) if you can take the loss on it. eBay won't stop you from using any of the ebay label options.
