Re: Is this a violation of Google's TOS?
Google's TOS for what? Do they own your website?
Google has said they don't like people buying/selling links to affect page rank. But there is no TOS document that you are agreeing to that says you won't.
Google wants you to put the nofollow on bought/sold links if you do. However, what you do with your site is your business.
Of course, if you go against Google's suggestions they can also choose to penalize your site. Maybe you were using the term TOS in a general sense.
