I think option #5 is sensible and I don't know why you haven't made "donating" an obligation already, a sales tax or similar could be interesting too, not sure on te legalities surrounding it, but eBay is 10%? How about 2% of sales go in the kitty? If it's what's needed to continue and will be sufficient, then do it. At least try it, then you can go back to considering #1-4 I think enough of the users of the site would value the resource that it is at £10 a year, maybe if all goes well we could get an LFGSS badge one day... @Velocio
