You're absolutely right. People on a tight budget like me would be very much interested in financial compensation for certain jobs. As long as it results in articles following policy, I don't see the problem.
As I see it, the *only* problem is whether Wikipedia wants to gain a reputation as "having to" pay its editors, or something. We certainly can't stop people making private deals. All we can control is whether it happens in the Wikipedia namespace or not.
We already have WP:BOUNTY - I don't see a problem here.
