If you do charge a fee then your Accts Receivable will be 65K+. So those who don't pay will be in the Allowance for Bad Debt. How long will you wait for them to pay up? If they don't are you going to turn them off? How will they get in touch with you to level their account and get re-instated? Are you ready to take on this nightmare ???
People would just prepay for a month, a year, or longer through paypal, square or check/taco bell gift card.

It's not that involved. It would work like any other paywall - posting permissions for the classifieds would just be behind it. You buy the subscription, you get behind the paywall. It's really quite simple.
 
How about 1 free ad a month and charge for the next ads after that
That sounds pretty reasonable, so it wouldn't run off someone who posted rarely.

I could also allow people to pay in gift cards as a protest to the man and I could use them for giveaways. :D
