They were originally permitted only among traders, for the benefit of commerce, but afterwards extended by an act of Henry VIII of England Henry VIII 1532 to all subjects, whether traders or not. The creditor under either form of security was allowed to seize the goods and hold the lands of a defaulting debtor until satisfaction of his debt.

The typical merchant sells a wide variety of household and personal products, with many emphasizing jewelry. Unlike a self serve retail store, most of the items are not displayed customers select the products from printed catalogs in the store and fill out an order form. The order is brought to the sales counter, where a clerk retrieves the items from the warehouse area to a payment and checkout station.
