How can in wordpress, one sell the "create post" option

To elaborate more. One has to pay an amount before he can make create a post on the wordpress site.

Suppose a person pays $20, he gets to write a post on wordpress. This is just like a paid listing website. If the person wants to create another post, he has to pay another 20 Bucks.

Well, if someone is giving a negative point, should they state a reason for doing so. – Nikhil Aug 11 '11 at 5:21
Do you mean a premium/paid account for post creation? Rephrase your question if you dislike negative votes and don't want them. – Rutwick Gangurde Aug 11 '11 at 5:22
@Rutwick : with all good intentions, it never occurred to me my question was a bit ambiguous. Yet what I want to achieve has been made more clear by description of the question. – Nikhil Aug 11 '11 at 5:58
Okay. Enable registrations on your site, when a user buys a premium account (or a single pay, whatever), set an option or user meta that tells he has paid the amount. Then check if that value is set against him, if yes, assign him edit_post capability when he logs in (or create a new post creation area to restrict it according to your criteria). – Rutwick Gangurde Aug 11 '11 at 7:08
But how do I restrict him by enabling him to create only one post per payment – Nikhil Aug 11 '11 at 7:29

As per comments you can make use of user meta functions to store user-specific information and use capabilities (or some more simple check) to control if user can create a post.
