To put this out in the open - not to be confused with if it should be done,

but rather what is better.

So a new subject to attract attention and keep it only on what is better - 'Sale' or 'Sells'.


The suggestions are to use a sub tag under shops that detail what is available for purchase, one side is for using 'sale' the other for 'sells'.


I'll use an example of a car shop that has VW and BMW available. In an English sentence;


The car shop has BMW and VW for sale.


The car shop sells BMW and VW.


The later sentence is simpler and more easily abbreviated to

shop=car sells=BMW, VW


This is also more readily understood and less confusing than


shop=car sale=BMW, VW


There is a confusion with the word 'sale' being commonly used with shops for a short term discount of goods usually to clear stock for another season
