Elsevier has been using author paid refereeing for many years for some of
its economics titles.
As an example see:
Journal of Monetary Economics
"There is a standard submission fee of US$ 175.00 for all unsolicited
manuscripts submitted for publication. There are reduced fees for
subscribers to the Journal (US$ 100.00), students (US$ 75.00),
and student subscribers (US$ 50.00). To encourage quicker response
referees will be paid a nominal fee and the submission fee will
be used to cover these refereeing expenses. There are no page
charges. Cheques should be made payable to the Journal of Monetary
Economics. When a paper is accepted the fee will be reimbursed."

Some Elsevier journals also charge page charges for colour. See:
Microelectronics Journal
Colour Costs and Queries:
For colour illustrations, a colour printing fee is
charged to the author per colour page. Further information
concerning colour illustrations and costs is available
from Author Support at authorsupport_at_elsevier.ie, and at
