Could I sell these on the Marketplace?
I have made a cartoon actor model. He can be provided as a Flash, Illustrator, EPS or Photoshop layered file. Someone with limited art skills could buy the character and with minimal art program ability, customize the actor to suit their game. Plus if I was able to sell this online, I would follow up with more assets, like facial features, different eyes, noses, mouths, lip syncs, hair, clothing, weapons and props.
Everything is layered, the hands, arms, eyeballs, eye pupils, eyebrows, side of hair, back of hair, fringe, or in order so that the character can be animated in lots of ways. Instead of me making a few sprites, you could take this model, and create the sprite actions that you need. Customize my art so that it is more unique to the programmer.
So, could I sell this on the marketplace, and if so, for how much?

The price would be up to you - How much time did you put into each one and what do you think would be a fair price? Personally, that's the question I would ask myself.

After you submit your examples you'll have to wait a bit for the GS Marketplace team to evaluate the suitability of your work, so be patient! They'll get back to you if you're approved. From there, they'll send you an email with all the details you need to upload your assets to the Marketplace.
In my opinion regarding setting a price - go to the Marketplace and check out the animation assets and the pack assets and see how the other members are pricing them. I really hate to offer you a specific dollar amount as a suggestion, since I'm new to this myself and I don't want low-ball you if you've put many hours into your asset package. But again, you want to be COMPETITIVELY priced - and the best way to gauge that is to see what similar packs are going for. Keep in mind you can't charge people for sentimentality or if you took 3 weeks to make a couple of art assets (not suggesting you're doing this at all, by the way) - but if you're approved as a seller, one of the things I've come to accept recently is that if I take a long time to make an art asset, that's really my problem, I don't want to pass that along to the buyer. It's up to me to get really good and to be able to produce work in a reasonable amount of time. I'd love to charge a lot more for pieces that take me longer (I tend to hand draw every single little detail freehand for designs/patterns), but I have to remember that the buyer can just as easily skip my assets altogether if I price myself out of a sale. So get on the Marketplace and see what's what! Good luck, I hope to see your stuff up for sale

One thing that would be really handy would be the ability to list assets by downloads - I've been selling online stock footage for years (Just checked, 7 years now !!) and when the ability to list assets by downloads was implemented you instantly gained an insight into what was selling (essentially the customer actually wanted).
Like Jeffnichols I'm not really complaining, just puzzled ?
So even if you post your service in the MARKET PLACE ONLY section. it will still be sent to the main page under the stickies.
