AFAIK if you buy BA flexible or full fare tickets they include seat selection for free. Whether that is a cost effective way to do things is another question, but I don't think it's quite right to say there is no option to buy a J fare witb seat selection - if you really are buying an actual J fare bucket then seat selection comes included.
