Does a neutral Merchant pay me or catch my Family Member?

Several replies agree, including one that cites the encounter phase; the rulebook only describes paying them.

No. Neutral Merchants never pay you when they land on your place, and they do not send Family Members to the Police Station, because only players' turns have an encounter phase. They only cost you 2 Lira when you land on them.
