I would suggest charging in larger increments. I'd rather pay $12 once a
year, even if the service doesn't last the whole year. Or you could have
them 'subscribe' (Paypal offers this now) at 3 month or 4 month intervals.
You can set up different intervals, different rates, etc. So, maybe people
could choose $12/year, or $1.50/month, or $4/quarter, or whatever sets-off
the fees (is it $.35 + 3% per transaction?).

Warning: still may need to be a business of some kind unless this is a
"donations *strongly* encouraged, rather than required" situation.

Warning 2: Paypal is currently navigating some banking regulation issues...
