Being sued for copyright infringement?
Hello well firstly I'm a student and I seriously got no money at all. I purchased a study guide from a teacher to study for a test to get into graduate school and I had to sign a document saying I am the purchaser and ill not make illegal copies etc so I did. I bought it but now I decided I do not want to be in this field anymore so I just sold my copy and I seen people selling their copy of this study guide on the web too. I tried selling it on eBay but I didn't do it right cause apparently I posted it twice again after I already sold mine and sent the package to the person. The teacher who sold me the study guide saw the 2 posts on eBay and bought both and sent me an email saying he's contacted his lawyer and they will be using my signed form as proof and they will do litigation against me. I'm so scared I just sold my copy and I didn't make multiple its just mine and I don't know wha tto do I just messaged him saying I did it on accident but there's no response, I don't know what to do. Will I be in big trouble? Help.
This was all online and this teacher and his company sell these study guides for students to study they're in a diff state
I don't know what to do and I'm scared I don't even have a lawyer or know anything about all of that stuff.
No I didn't try to take it off cause at first my one I was selling wasn't getting bids so I tried to make them show more now this guy thinks I am selling so many copies. I did only sell mine but that's it.
Since he bought it back so no one else could bid on it I told him I can show him the receipt of who I sold mine to and even if I have to ill send all the money I got from it back but I didn't make copies I just sold mine I'm scared now about this cause I've never been in this situation before.

The author bidded on both of them the highest to stop anyone else from purchasing it (thinking I purposely put the ads to begin with), and then messaged me saying to take them down and that I'd be having to go to court. No he did not send me cash for it he just bidded on them. I didn't even pay attention to the other ones till I got a message from eBay and himself saying it's a violation of copyright law and I don't know how I am supposed to prove to people I just sold my original to an individual and its already been sent and there's even a tracking number for it. I don't have anymore.

Yes I am not going to even message anymore or worry about this I feel I'm just worrying over nothing because I never did such a thing to begin with. All the eBay ads had been removed once I found out how to take them off.

I am not rich at all but wouldn't ever do that, the reason why I sold my copy was cause on a website called sdn there are so many people doing it too but I already knew that multiple copies wasn't allowed and I didn't do that it was just hard maneuvering on the website and figuring out how to use eBay for the first time.
