Copyright infringement can occur even if you do not sell the product. Simply using or distributing copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder can still be considered infringement.

How am I infringing on copyright laws if I'm selling an item on eBay?

If what you're offering to sell on eBay (or anywhere else) is an unlawfully made copy of copyrighted materials, then offering to sell it is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive right to sell copies to the public. The so-called "first sale doctrine" (e.g., in the USA, 17 USC 109) does not apply to illegal copies.
