Are you using PayPal? I know that they don't allow you to use the "Donate" button unless you are a non profit. I have a donate button on my profile description I used a hyperlink that takes the person to a separate page where they can donate any dollar amount. Since PayPal any MANY other services don't technically allow you to accept donations for personal reasons I used a service called "GoGetFunding" and can set up a fundraiser for ANY reason. They even pay out to you via PayPal... strange I know

Since you are interested in donating a portion of the money to another cause... on their website you can also donate to many other causes that you can browse through and choose what you want to donate to...

No, by for example, saying "If you donate $1 to me, I will make you a skin" or "Donate $1 and I will give you op on my server" The amount of money and what people get could vary, but that is my point. And it would not be abused for long as it would be picked up by people and moderators would deal with it.

One does not simply make a donate button.

Try just putting text on your profile and then hyperlinking the text to the donation page.

Go onto paypal's website/FAQ and see if they have instructions for adding a donate button to your profile.

Also, to clear up the rules, donation buttons are allowed to be put on your profile or submissions, as long as you do not force, coerce or bribe people into donating.

I assume you will be asking for monetary donations, buuuut PMC doesn't allow users to use the site for commercial advertising/selling/distributing (rule number 6). So do you actually need one?

Actually
Commercial advertising is a public promotion of some product or service
Commercial selling means something related to buying or selling things.
Commercial Distributing is a method of spreading information about a company's product by buying a portion of a page in a magazine/newspaper

The definition of Donating is the making of a gift especially to a charity or a person.

So i ask again, how do i place them in my account desc?

I stand well and truly corrected. However, without being mean, insulting, or in any way insinuating anything, do you see how donate buttons could be abused (not for long), but still abused all the same? That was why I was wondering why you needed one.
