I think what you are asking about may be the word "hansa" or "hanse" which was not a merchant's guild, but an organization or league of merchant's guilds. The Hanseatic League rivaled nations for power and importance at one time.
After being an apprentice, a person became a journeyman, who could earn money in a trade, but was not a master and could not join a guild. The journeyman created what was called a masterpiece, and submitted it to a guild for consideration. If it was accepted, then he was a master and could join the guild.

The guilds are often divided into two types, merchants' and crafts' guilds. They were similar in many respects, such as being used to prevent outside competition. In other ways they were different; where crafts guilds often made newcomers go through a long process of apprenticeship, merchants' guilds sometimes gave membership to children of members and sometimes sold memberships.

No, a merchant was an individual who sold things, but a guild was a group of merchants or craftsmen who had certain common interests.
Not 100% sure about general merchants but I know that all Thieves Guild members sell them. Just join the thieves guild.

Merchant Guilds a group of merchants. They became very powerful, making laws and rules for other merchants, causing individual trades to be endangered. This is what i THINK. so yeahh....
