So I was just wondering, if I suspect someone (a stranger who I am about to perform a business transaction in game with) of having done non-CCP-sanctioned RMT to get their isk, am I obligated to not sell them things? By selling them things do I take on part of their risk, and become liable to have the isk from the transaction deducted from my wallet?

yes. if you suspect them of RMT, report them and cut contact with them.

Yay, this account hasn't had its signature banned. or its account, if you're reading this.

If the transaction is normal, was done in good faith and you have no connection to the RMT operation, you're unlikely to lose your ISK after the fact. If they revert the trade, I'd expect you to lose the money, but regain the items you traded. In such cases it's simply unreasonable to expect a normal player to know better or punish them because of the actions of others. Any possible obligation on your part is limited to reporting the evidence you have againt him to CCP.

Well, it's not really possible to block an individual from buying your Sell Order on the Market, so that's probably not enough to suspect you.

But selling to them directly or through station trades could indeed, especially if there is a findable communications path that shows that you indeed knew about their RMT activity.

Still a bit of a grey area. But if you suspect or know someone is RMT, just report them and avoid them, and stop worrying about the precise mechanics as a lot of this is determined only on a case by case basis.
