The question remains, is this acceptable? or would you rather have a direct donation by PayPal?

I'm not speaking for anyone else, but I would rather you left a good review, mentioned it on your blog, or told your online friends about it than send a small payment that gets gobbled up by Paypal or Amazon. At the early stages, a writer needs readers more than they need money.
