wow that's some big font!
What are the successful competitors on ebay charging?
Charge the same or a dollar or two less, since people on ebay seem to be looking for bargains.
Just my thoughts

Take a look at what other t-shirts are selling for on eBay and base your pricing around there.

I sold a few T-shirts at about $17, but that was on the high side for eBay. Whenever I tried to sell for more, my sales dropped. People don't want to spend lots of $ on eBay. When I sold there (2005), most Ts sold for $15 and under.

It depends on your designs and how much competition there is.

If there are 20 people selling the same quality shirt with the same design, you're going to have to be very competitive on price.

If you have a unique design or an especially high quality product, you can charge a little more. Still, eBay is the land of bargain hunters so don't expect to be able to charge a whole lot.

I think the best thing to do would be to put a couple of test auctions out there and see what happens.

Do you know of a good design software for beginners? I got a trial of Coral X3 and It was like Chinese Arithmatic to me. I would appreciate your input thank You.

I was wondering how many shirts per day do you sell? I need some inspiration for my designs.

Any graphics software will take time to learn. Corel does come with some tutorials so I am sure if you spent some time with it you would be able to figure it out.
