The answer

The general rule is that buying and selling are permissible. There is no obligation to investigate how the seller acquired the goods, as that falls under blameworthy excessive scrupulosity (waswasah). Even if it is known with certainty that the seller obtained the goods in a way that violates the website's terms and conditions, this does not prohibit buying them from him, because violating the website's terms does not render the goods themselves unlawful.
