How do I set Royal Mail international postage?

This is driving me completely bonkers - I sell collectible trading cards, which easily go into standard small letter envelopes, saving an enormous amount on postage abroad. I've got a potential Canadian buyer but can't find any way of sending it except via the Global Shipping Programme - which classes it as a parcel, and accrues HUGE fees, over twice the value of the item! (A £7 card is adding £17 which is *insane*. Royal Mail happily ships letters for £3.40!) Obviously the buyer just isn't interested in that, and effectively we're blocked from the overseas card market unless I can work out how to set my own Royal Mail intl. postage. But how do I do it? The option just doesn't seem to be there! I've tried Googling and the AI advice is just plain wrong. Any human advice gratefully received, thank you! 
(Please note, the item value is under CAN$20 and therefore exempt from import duties and taxes. So that's not what's being added here.)

(Also) I'm not an expert, but if I understand correctly, you can't use letter rate for ebay items (even if e.g. buying at a Post Office and even for Private sellers). See https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-Seller-Board/Ebay-Announcement-Royal-Mail-International-Ser...
