No, but you have to be an advertiser or at least a paid member to post specific items for sale.

I think the concern was because he expressed interest in making a profit in the future. The Pedalforce group buys were organized by a forum member who just got a big group of people together but wasn't affiliated with PedalForce or making a profit. If he is going to profit, he should support the forums since they provided the venue for him to find customers.

Yes. It went from "here are the samples" to "I'm selling these samples for $xxx and I'm selling a Scott and Cervelo frames as well".
