貝 points to “money / valuables,” a classic sign of trade. With the right-hand element, the character leans toward the act of dealing goods. Together, it’s the movement of products and money—the business of selling.
Imagine a 市—a lively market—where coins and goods change hands. Items made for anyone to buy are 市販品—products on open sale. The feel of this character is practical and public: getting things into the marketplace.
