MC servers are a business, and you're referring to purchasing intangible goods as donating, which is not the correct term. This can lead to a PayPal account closure, as this is misleading.
Intangible or tangible doesn't matter, you are still paying for an item you are receiving.

When you donate, you give money to a particular organization, and you have absolutely no intentions of receiving something back. If you leave a tip at a coffee shop, that's considered a DONATION. You won't expect the cashier to give you a cookie for doing so.

Another example - An MCM user posts a selling thread for an OG. He refers to purchasing as donating. It's an intangible good, the same as items on a server. Isn't that misleading?

You can easily not give players their items, as you're referring to the wrong term. Refer to it as PURCHASING, not donating.

It's called donating because you donate to help support the server, and in return, we give something such as an item to show our appreciation. c:
Then there should be a separate package called "DONATIONS" where people can give money and not get anything

If you lookup an actual definition of the word "donate" there's no clause about "not receiving anything in return".

It's also called "Buy"craft for a reason.

And on PayPal as long as it comes in as a payment and not a donation, you're fine (plus to recieve actual "donations" in a legal sense there's a lot you have to do, I'm sure Anthony R can explain)

The way I look at it:

Is MinePlex ok?
Is Hypixel ok?

All right, I doubt they'll hunt down my server when I'm not even at the top.
