It has come up numerous times in the past. The consensus at the
time seemed to be that it was encouraged for you to post a message
saying you have a trade list, and invite interested parties to ask for
an e-mailed copy. That is how I've done it in years gone by, and it
works pretty well. Speaking of that, I should really make a list...
*grin*

Personally, I don't mind the occasional posting of a trade list to
the group. My connection is fast enough that it doesn't slow me down,
and I can always skip over it. For most people, a short list in text
format shouldn't be a problem. Adding pictures is not good. What I
think we all agreed on was that this group shouldn't be a forum for
commercial activity. So a very occasional list from a hobby grower is
OK, but not a continuous posting stream from a vendor.

Except that's what you'll get: a continuous posting stream from a vendor or
hobbyist. Then we'll all have to yell and scream for it to stop, and
there'll be recriminations on both sides, flames will start left and right
and this place will become a warzone.

So don't do it.

If you have a trade list ask people to contact you off list.

Or ask Kye to start a trade list news group.
