Receiving small donations

Hi all.  I have a question:

I'm currently working as a volunteer feeding the hundreds of Australians who have lost their homes in the bush fires.  We also feed the volunteer firemen.  At the end of each long day, the cooking volunteers need a beer to wind down.  Currently, we are buying the beers and volunteers are not rich.  What I would like to do is ask my Facebook friends around the world to buy cases of beer.  The nearest bottle shop doesn't accept payment online so I want to set up a way for my friends to pay me and I will buy the beer.

 

I have a paypal account in my name but wonder if I should set up another account for this purpose only.  I'm talking about small amounts. $38AUS for 12 beers or $76AUS for the full case.  I'm sure the solution is obvious to people in this community, I would love to hear all suggestions.

Perhaps look into starting a money pool for this, if you're collecting from friends. They must have a PayPal account though to contribute.

You can start a business account as typed as "Individual"  or use your personal account still and
