Well, they were not selling them in the Temple, they were selling them in an outer courtyard. Until it was destroyed, the Temple was a center where Jews brought animal sacrifices. The Torah, when it commands the sacrifices, says that you could bring your own animal, but if the distance was far, you could "turn your animal into money", then travel and buy an animal in Jerusalem to sacrifice. So, from the start, there was a livestock market at the Temple where animals could be purchased to sacrifice. The rules for sacrificial animals were fairly strict: The animals had to be without blemish. So, the market was under priestly supervision to assure that the animals sold there met the requirement.

Assuming you are asking about the Temple in Jerusalem, The Bible commands Jews to make various sacrifices in the Temple, and it explicitly authorizes Jews to bring their own animals or "convert them to money" with which to buy animals once they get there. The requirements for animals for sacrifice included that they be "without blemish," so dealers selling animals for sacrifice had to be under priestly supervision in order to protect buyers from unscrupulous dealers. In addition, the sales had to be near the Temple so that customers who weren't experienced animal handlers wouldn't have to drive their sacrificial animal any great distance. These practical considerations led to the establishment of a livestock market as an outer part of the Temple complex.
