'der Verkauf' and 'der Retail' can both have to do with selling goods. 'der Verkauf' is the normal German word and fits almost any situation in which something is sold for money. 'der Retail' refers more specifically to retail trade, that is, selling directly to end consumers. The word sounds businesslike and is used mainly in companies, reports, or job ads. Learners may confuse the words because 'Retail' also means sale or selling. In everyday language, people usually say 'Verkauf' or 'Einzelhandel'; in a business context, 'Retail' can be more natural.
