Yes. When you sell products with someone else's trademark of IP without permission you get a cease and desist and/or a lawsuit. If the next question is what about Etsy/RedBubble/boardwalk T-shirt vendors, not getting caught doesn't make it legal.

Thank you. I would use the company name in verb tense rather than the company name itself like "Ebaying", or "Ubering". I'm sure it would apply the same in that sense?

No. In fact, businesses need to be active to protect their trademarks from becoming generic terms that are not protected. Here's an article: https://www.justia.com/intellectual-property/trademarks/strength-of-marks/generic-terms/
