What is the difference between 売る and 販売する?


They are "to sell" in meaning and I think we use them in different cases but I
don't know. Can anybody help me???




売る is more colloquial and a bit more general. For example it can be used
metaphorically e.g. こいつ魂を売ったな. 販売 is more formal and specific and refers to
selling, normally goods. You can't say こいつ魂を販売したな!
