Answer: The deal was never completed.

Rumplestiltskin hoped to find a way to be reunited with his son. William Smee heard of this and told him that he could get a magic bean that would allow Rumplestiltskin to get what he wanted. In return, Rumplestiltskin would make Smee a boy ago. If he failed, then Rumplestiltskin would cause Smee to age until he died. The bean ended up in the possession of Milah and Captain Hook. Neither of them handed it over to Rumplestiltskin but rather Captain Hook used it to travel to Neverland, where he could find a way to get revenge on Rumplestiltskin for killing Milah and cutting off his right hand.
Smee wanted the bean but Captain Hook made him an offer. Hook would keep the bean and Smee would join his crew and head to Neverland, a place where nobody grew old. Smee accepted.
