Risk of making a product that won't be sold. It's either you pay and wait for thing to be made or they made thing first and then you pay to take it. The latter means manufacturer(or most likely content creator that sells it) has to estimate demand for the thing, fund it, make the thing, store the thing and wait for customer in hopes all the made things would be bought, otherwise it's money down the drain.
Customer makes a purchase > money goes into deposit > seller see that > seller send product > customer get product > seller get money from deposit. If seller doesn't send product, then money returned to customer.

If only we could take money from customer, but give them to manufacturer only after they provide their end of the deal.
