Amazon is not paying $5 for shirts and selling them for $50.

That's where your argument is completely mistaken. Stores don't have those kinds of profit margins, that would be absurd. That's the whole point here.

If Amazon is selling a shirt for $50, then they are probably acquiring it for $25-30.

Believe me, they don't want to throw away that $25-30. That's not how businesses operate.

That the part you and a lot of other people seem to be missing here.
