Valve and Bethesda conferred and agreed that it was best to remove the paid mod section, refund everyone who bought any paid mods, and reconsider the implementation.
Will try to find a better source for this.
Edit: Yep, looks legit.

Earlier today Bethesda explained some of it's rationale behind trying out this paid system:

Looks like they and Valve have decided to go back to the drawing board. Hoping they come back with a patreon style donation system instead; Skyrim modding generally demands more of a commitment from the modders in terms of supporting and fixing their mods so they continue to work as more mods are updated and I think a patreon style system better rewards and reflects this sort of longer term demand.
