Hi Roy, this is comprookie2000. I may be able to help in this area, I ran a ebay store for a few years.

Well looks like there is a reason only certain products are offered for purchase. I will attach the reply I received from cafepress.

By using cafepress you can only use the items that they provide.

All media (CD/DVD) was removed from the store. Media did not sell, in fact it cost us more money to ship the original media to CafePress than we made off of selling that media. (They dont offer an upload option.)
I spoke to agaffney, there are no plans at this point for the previous 'normal' releases, the small group of rel eng are doing autobuilds so media is a moot point.
