Traders could cheat on their customers to get more money out of the customer. This could be done by making the scales inaccurate which meant that the traders could weight 500g of meat as 1kg of meat which is more expensive. It is also important to remember that most people were uneducated so therefore to "make a fool" out of them was much easier. In addition communication between settlements/cities/countries was very slow ,and hence the traders could cheat on multiple people and if to get away with it could repeat in another settlement near by.
