Last time I looked they were taking about 5% of every transaction. The fact that people don't care because the tax element boosts the donation by more than this margin does not alter the fact that it's an arrangement most website operators would kill for....

Just giving is one of the best examples of the positive benefits of the internet. Without it, how would I have got sponsors from all around the world, several of whom have never met me? Thomas Dennis,

Building trust requires additional intimacy that just won't come from "sticking to business." Whether it is sharing experiences, vulnerabilities, or passions, you have to give something away to get reciprocation back from the client.
