I buy something off a crafter for 5.5m. The most I can trade at 1 time is 1m gil. So I have two options.

1. Give the crafter the money up front and risk them running off with the money.
or 2. Get the item first and them risk me running off with the item without paying.

Sounds similar to the housing situation wouldn't you agree?

Ps. Im not saying that this happens a lot im sure very little trades ever happen like that but theres always the chance. Fortunately the GMs are pretty good about this stuff.
