Every day, thousands of eBay auctions list machine embroidery designs for sale. Some are from reputable sources and are legal. Others are unauthorized copies (bootlegs) and are not legal to copy or use. How can you know what you are buying is legal?
Avoid auctions for machine embroidery designs if there are no pictures of the designs. Avoid auctions that list thousands of designs for a low price. Do not bid on auctions where the bidders names are hidden. If it seems too good to be true, do not bid.
Any CD or DVD with cartoon characters such as Disney, Looney Tunes, or TV characters such as Dora or Blues Clues are illegal copies of copyrighted embroidery designs, or unauthorized designs created from copyrighted images. Even if the seller insists that he or she has created the designs, they violate the copyrights of the original images. These CDs are never legit. If the seller lists "cartoons" as part of a CD or DVD collection of embroidery designs, do not bid.

Nice to see that Ebay is stepping up and trying to educate people about the dangers of buying designs on their site.
