I've shipped a number of things from selling on eBay, albeit not a lot of stuff, but I know that I could mail two referee shirts for $5 or less because they weigh next to nothing.
I don't think that guy is going to "Revolutionize the way officials dress" (Or whatever his tag line is) when he's trying to turn a profit from shipping costs. I like their basketball shirts (I think their baseball shirts look like garbage), but I'll go to Ump-Attire, Between the Lines, or even eBay instead.
Sorry for the soapbox rant.

That charge would include shipping and handling, correct?
When you ship stuff off for eBay sales, how much are you paying your *help* to find the product, to wrap it, to address it and otherwise handle it? How much is your employee's insurance and taxes for handling it?
Indeed, it is a bit of a sorry rant.
