The other option is also good, probably more convenient ie have a Marketplace subsection and just have people who want to sell place adds in that particular section. Charge them for the add quarterly or yearly. Maybe have a lump sump payment for a year for people who want to post multiple times as they get more plant shipements throughout the year.
I think this will make a alot of people happy. Any seller in the Markeplace should have a star rating option like Amazon, so we can tell the good ones from the bad.
One good thing coming out of this is that our discussion forums will be clean from buissiness oriented people who come in and mess up the atmosphere. If even after this buissiness is attempted on the discussion forums then 3 warnings and then banning from the forum can be considered as reasonable. It will also be good that forum members will have access to sellers directly from the site and can PM them for details. I think best is to charge for advertising or posting in Marketplace rather than ask for discount. You know how we are, we inflate prices then give sale on inflated prices
