I think I would approach that the other way around. Instead of selling a service that triggered a site placement, I would have site placements that needed to be purchased.
So use jrAparna to create a site-placement module and allow its items to be sold.

I wanted to break this out into it's own thread as it warranted a separate discussion that may be of help to others.
I am using a clone of the MediaPro Light skin as the base for my site, it has been fairly heavily customised so far but I am taking it even further! I have kept the flexslider on the homepage http://demo.jamroom.net/jrMediaProLight/ and the Featured Artists slider underneath.
I have taken the Featured Artists Slider and applied it to all quotas, adding the appropriate skin settings options as I went.
My ultimate goal for the Flexslider is to have differently laid out slides depending on the quota of the profile featured. ie a photographer wont need songs featured, they'll want their images featured etc.
But that is just a bit of background to set the discussion.
As any of you know that are using MediaPro, we enter profile ids in the relevant section in skin settings. The flexslider then checks this field for ID's.
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="_item_id in `$_conf.gmSkin_slider_profile_ids`" template="index_slider.tpl" limit="21"}
If I were to use jrAparna to sell the slots I am imagining passing the profile ID's into this slider somehow? So the above code would be checking for ID's contained within a datastore field?
Is jrAparna set up with inbuilt support for the Foxycart modules? It's not something I came across in the times I have created modules using it.
It is certainly an interesting proposal Michael made just having a little difficulty seeing how it would function at the moment.
