> If people make a donation, then I send them a product.

I've seen that else where, and it really peeves me. Why can't you just say you're selling your product online? What is it about calling it donation? (Other than Paypay being really picky about it.) If it's a donation, then it's a donation. If I give you money, and you give me a product, that's called buying and selling.

Paypal being picky is a real issue though. This kickstarter-style compensated donation does seem to get around that, but I expect it's a loophole that will soon be closed. Then again, I don't know of any other setup for doing a pay-what-you-like model with Paypal.
