Ok so I came across many auctions selling many templates. Is this legal? Like do these have copyright laws that you infringe if you use them?

Here is one of the auctions

eBay: WEB TEMPLATE,HTML,PLANTILLA DE PAGINA WEB,FLASH,WEBSITE (item 290025278320 end time Sep-08-06 11:40:58 PDT)

Depends entirely on the licence of each template. It looks like it's some kind of reseller package or something like that.

they are sold like in the UK.

How do I know if they have resellers rights?

There are a ton of old templates out there that are legally sold with resale rights.

If you are planning on reselling them you need to buy them with master resale rights. Otherwise you are the end consumer and allowed to use but not resell them.

Most of the things I acquired that came with resale or master resale rights had an enclosed file stating that. I have had the misfortune to buy a few that did not include that statement.

I always print the page of any site or auction that I buy from figuring that that will be my proof that I am not "intentionally" using someone elses work.

As an end consummer I doubt that you have anything to be concerned about. YMMV.
