Here is a screenshot example of what a promoted posts looks like in the dashboard - http://cloud.jonathanmoore.com/Dsu4. Users have the option of choosing from several dozen feature options like "buy this", "very special posts", "super proud of this", etc.

Right now it appears to be limited to one highlighted post per day, and with all purchases on Tumblr they give you the option of donating an additional $1 to EFF, Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.

Say what you want about Tumblr but their visual design is gorgeous.

Off-topic but what are you using to serve up images on your site like that? Is it a custom script or an OSS solution?

I am using CloudApp (http://getcloudapp.com/) to upload screenshots I take. Quite the handy tool.
