    Not against TOS but google does frown upon it.

    If you read the TOS, if really doesn't say anything to that effect but as indyonline says, they do frown about stuffs like those..

    Just my 2 cents

    It won't affect adsense, but google considers purchasing links unnatural and may dock in the serps.

    Your ok selling links, but as mentioned above, which is wrong, it can hurt you Page rank not SERP's.
    People can and will report you for selling links so be careful. You will lose PR if reported.

    Adsense TOS did not mention abotu sell link, so it will be fine. The only thing is sell link will harm your PR. That's all
