To sell a slave, the ownership or title was transferred to the new owner, who gained all rights under the slavery laws. To "let" is to lend (a term still applied to the lease of boarding rooms), which meant the slave was "rented" to the other person for a certain payment or period of time.

Why did slaves let themselves be slaves?

They didn't. They were captured and sold into slavery, survived a horrid trip to wherever their captors took them, arrived dazed, starved, and shackled, and were sold again.
