We have literally millennia of evidence that merchants are not to be trusted. “Both sides lie” covers a massive power imbalance as well as just ignoring history

  If you don't trust the merchant don't do business with them. As a merchant, you have to accept all customers and hope they don't commit fraud, barring expensive fraud filters. As a customer, you have multiple options which business to patronize and you can screen them based on reviews. Or how you replied, we have literally a millennia of evidence that people cannot be trusted, merchant or not.
