This reminds me of an old, old joke, which although possibly offensive
to some, is very relevant here.

	   A man goes up to a woman on the beach and asks, "Would you 
	sleep with me for $10,000?"
	   "Sure," she replies.
	   "What about for $10?" he asks.
	   "What kind of woman do you think I am!!!" she answers,
	indignant.
	   "Madam, we've already established what you are.  Now we're
	trying to establish your price," he concludes.

The point being, "a few bucks in the mail" means commercial, by
the definitions customarily used on Usenet.  And thus, forbidden.

PS: The issue of net.jobs, although sticky, is not the same.  Except
    for placement agencies, posters of openings do not make a buck when
    a job is filled.  And I'm sure most companies would pay the phone
    call to see the resume of a prospective new hire.
