I am trying to build a series of 7 websites:

Avery5160Labels.com (Avery 5160 is an avery label)
Avery5660.com (Avery 5660 is an avery label)
Avery8293.info (Avery 8293 is an avery label)
AveryFileFolderLabels.com (you get the point…)
Averylaserlabels.com
AveryShippingLabels.com
AveryWhiteLabels.com

The site will be microsites that sell avery products and compatible options at a significant discount and I do not plan on trying to sell these to avery at a significant markup. I have conducted a quick trademark search and none of these are trademarks of avery but half of them are the names of products they sell while the other half are categories that they sell in.

Are you allowed to register a domain name that is a company’s product name and sell their products? If yes, even at a significant discount and with compatible offerings?

Are you allowed to register a domain name that represents a certain category of a company’s product offering and sell them?

Is this legal? What problems could I be facing that I need to look into?

Are you allowed to, sure.
However Avery can try and stop you for both the abuse of the trademark and cybersquatting. The latter they are almost certainly going to win.
