Can I setup gravity forms to allow users to submit an upcoming event for a certain period of time and automatically have it as a new post? Also would it be possible to charge them for the listings?
Mainly to promote an event that they have coming up.
You can allow visitors to your site to submit posts, and you can call them events if you like. Expiring the post after a certain amount of time is not a feature of Gravity Forms. It's possible there are other WordPress plugins out there which will expire a post. Something like this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-expirator/
You can charge for the listing and not display the listing until after the payment is received. You would need a developer license and one of our payment add-ons.
You can have it so that only logged in users can see the form, but we don't have any built-in way to limit submission by role.

I understand. So other than admin all of my registered users would be able to access the forms, there is now way to limit which of the registered users' groups would be able to access it.
Also when you say that I can have users submit posts from the front end, can those post be custom post types?
I'm sorry for all the questions but if this can do what I need it to do I will buy the developer license. I just don't want to buy and then not be able to accomplish what I want.
Thanks.
On the front end of your site, a published form which is embedded in a public page will be accessible to anyone. There are no restrictions within Gravity Forms. You can elect to show the form only to logged in users, if you want, but other than that, you would use a role manager or content manager plugin to restrict access to the page where the form is visible.
Users can submit your form, and the form can create a post . By default, Gravity Forms will create a post. It can be made to create a page. With a 3rd party plugin, you can create custom post types: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/
Please ask more specific questions about who can view the forms. Do you mean on the public side of your site, or do you mean in the admin, with the ability to edit forms and view and edit entries?
