Or 'you have to pay extra if you want to post in the Linguistics Section'.

In pay extra, extra is an adverbial modifying pay, but in pay for extra, extra, as the object of the preposition for, is either a pronoun (for which a referent in the context is required) or an adjective modifying a non-existent noun. That is why you need something more in the second instance, as Pieanne says.

You need to pay extra
