Right. Most game forums that I've seen have such a section, so people know where to go look for things being sold, and people have a suitable place to post about the stuff they want to sell.
When people browse the General forum, they are probably looking for other topics, not someone's magatama for sale (not singling anyone out; this was meant just as a likely example).
Some people might have no interest in shopping, and would never even browse that forum if it existed. But those who would, can.
Without a dedicated forum for commerce, the General section can become unreasonably cluttered with selling/buying threads, which makes it more work to browse "general discussion".
It's not that bad yet, but we're just starting out.
