Manufacturers are not paying retail price to Microsoft. The price they pay is negotiated upfront in their contract. Consequently, manufacturers aren't charging customers for the full retail price either.

If so, am I allowed to resell it on eBay for the price it's worth? (Like $200.00 USD for Windows 7 Home)

Not legally. With the purchase of new systems, most manufacturers have clauses in their documentation stating that the version of Windows sold with their system cannot be resold.
