Joe,

That's the way CafePress works.  Every item has a base price which 
CafePress recoups when the item is sold.  The Price shown is over and 
above the base price - i.e. "the profit".  That portion is collected 
and sent to Staz on a periodic basis.

CafePress takes care of the web site, the money collection, and the 
shipping.  All we had to do is design the FB Logo, select the items to 
sell, and set a price for the items.  Staz gets the profits, and 
CafePress takes care of the rest.

Most of the items only give a profit of a dollar or two, so it's 
definitely not a big money maker for Staz.  But it does get some 
merchandise out there for the FB enthusiasts, and provides some 
exposure of FutureBASIC as well.
