Is there a way to sell users the ability to create/post nodes (ex. classifieds)? [#1215886]

Hi. I am currently working on a classifieds D7 site, and I would like to sell users the ability to create/post a classified ad. With D6 + Ubercart this can be done using the UC Node Checkout module (http://drupal.org/project/uc_node_checkout), and following the instructions provided on the Drupal Easy website (http://drupaleasy.com/blogs/ultimike/2009/03/event-registration-ubercart).

Is there any way implement the same functionality with D7 + Drupal Commerce?

Thank you so much

This may be possible out of the box with other modules to help, but my hunch is you'll need some sort of bridge module like UC Node Checkout was for Ubercart. The basic configuration I've recommended in the past is to add a product reference field to your node type that users can't edit whose default value is the product matching to their node. When they create it, let them add it to the cart using that field if they're satisfied (or do it automatically). This will preserve the relationship between the node they've created and the product in the cart, so you have that data available for use in Views and in your custom logic after checkout has been completed.
