There are probably more tha few wizards who can bought in the EF besides our favorite Dark One. We saw this season that if Merlin accepted deals, more people would go to him anyway. The Wizard even had a similar practice in Oz so that's more evidence

Merlin isn't a Wizard and he hardly ever does deals. He only did one deal and never any more. Deals were the Dark One's trade, and not really the DO, but Rumple. He is a Sorcerer/mage and yes, there is a difference between those and a wizard.

Why would Rumple and Granny have such hostilities? Because she went to him before. She paid a wizard and Rumple is the only wizard so, it's highly likely it was him.
