'finds' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a market for sound electric batteries' is the wordplay.
'a market' becomes 'sell' (I've seen this in another clue).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'sound electric batteries' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sell'+'s'='SELLS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sells that I've seen before include "Vends" , "Markets" , "Retails" , "Flogs" , "Exchanges for payment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
