A suggestion: open a new paypal account for the SunTrust account, and then you can accept donations that are sent from bank accounts directly with no fee. You won't be able to take credit cards, but you can take bank transfers all day long with no fees. And if someone sends you a credit card payment by accident, you can return it (no fee on either end). As long as you don't step up the account to take credit cards, there are no fees. It might be a pain, but I suspect you'll get more $$ if people can donate on impulse. Plus, you can have links to donate directly from the fancy new page advertised at the top of this page! -Mike
