Why is it feminine?

Sales is feminine in Spanish because it derives from Latin "sal" (nominative), which belonged to the third declension. In Latin, "sal" was actually masculine or neuter depending on context, but in Spanish and other Romance languages, it became feminine. This gender assignment was carried forward despite the word's ending not being a typical feminine marker like "-a".
