How it's used
Focuses specifically on the act of selling as a professional or commercial duty rather than a casual exchange. While it is a standard term, native speakers often prefer more direct verbs like 賣 when describing the simple act of selling something to someone.
Examples
He has been selling goods at that shop for many years.
