I would prefer markups not to be justified on the basis of GiveWell donations. That increases deadweight loss, not to mention likely resulting in worse allocation of donations than the counterfactual.
Yeah this seems plausible to me, but it also just feels weird not having EA merch raise money for EA charity. Maybe just keep this amount very small / trivial / symbolic?
