How it's used
Focuses on the formal act of releasing goods for purchase, often used in official announcements or commercial contexts. It sounds significantly more professional than just saying 賣, which is the general verb for selling. You will frequently encounter this in news reports or on official websites regarding product launches.
Examples
When will this new phone model go on sale?
The movie tickets are already on sale online.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in everyday casual speech when talking about selling personal items, such as selling a second hand bike or old clothes. In those informal situations, stick to 賣 instead.
