I logged in as my alchemist, and noticed she had been muted. So, I looked up the mute log to see why. It said I was "blocking an NPC"
So I, in my paranoid tendancy of mistakingly mispricing an item, always take a screenshot before I leave my shop AFK.

Now, in the above image there are no npcs anywhere near me. In fact, unless the giant conch shell is an NPC that you can't click on and doesn't talk, then there are no NPC's anywhere near me.
But just to make sure, I'll take another screen shot in the same location.

As you can see in this picture, I'm nowhere near any NPCs.
And, I'm in fact still within he NPC rules which state:
"2. Do not set up your shop or chat, within 4 tiles of, or cover any NPCs or Entrance warps."

There's no way I'm blocking a single NPC! Even the conch shell is five tiles away from the spot I was vending in!
