LoL, ok bud. Whatever you say, because you're so credible. I was at a well established kydex manufacturer and know the process, and not only watched but was involved in the process. The cost of making a kydex IWB (without leather) holster for most efficient makers is less than $10. $60 for a plain IWB holster is a rip off, when you can get a quality IWB holster for half that with lifetime warranty.
But hey, whatever, it's your money.

It's about more than materials and manufacturing cost. The fact that you're hung up on that confirms how clueless you are on the topic of what makes a quality holster.
You know, things like kydex thickness or lack thereof, fit quality, mold accuracy, edge deburring, tape marks, loop/hook quality, loop/hook material, mold ratios (50/50, 80/20, etc.), trigger protection, general design, retention, concealability or lack thereof, comfort, etc. But I'm sure all that's the same between guys like RCS/JMCK and your eBay Specials, right?
Oh wait, nope. They aren't. They're not even the same between RCS/JMCK and Instagram tacticool garbage like Aliengear and TRex, let alone random one-off crap from (presumably, since you didn't mention any specifically) random vendors on eBay.
And thanks for vouching for my credibility. It's true. I am more cresidle than you, just like anyone who says "just buy a DPMS, it's as good as that BCM" is less credible than the rest of the world (that's you).
Anyway, OP, don't listen to dingbat advice like this eBay-is-just-as-good-as crap. You bought a $500+ gun. Don't cheap out and buy a crap holster just to save $20-30. It's a drop in the bucket in the overall CCW budget. That's like buying a $1500 AR and plopping on a $100 Chinese RDS instead of at the very minimum an MRO or Aimpoint Pro, except this isn't even that since it's literally a world's difference in quality for the cost of a few beers at the bar.
Don't skimp. Buy a good holster for your P30SK. That is a full kydex rig from a quality company, likely JMCK since not many quality makers cover HK pistols.
