You start off by shipping them 5 CDs. They keep one for their library (and to rip and encode tracks and scan the artwork for their web store).
In addition to the $40 iTunes setup fee (per album), you have to pay them a $35 setup fee (I forget whether that is per album or not).
So if you didn't "really" have a CD but you want to sell the contents on iTunes and CD Baby, you can burn a few copies yourself and slap a label on it.
