The problem is people don't always place For Sale posts.
They either post in the 'How much is this worth thread' or post in another thread "I might be thinking of moving my XXX LE on soon" - BOOM inbox full with direct offers to buy and sale never goes 'public'. We've seen it just a few posts above.
As for 'fees' for sales - it would be impossible to police. Even if it was it would turn the site closer to eBay, and possibly attract more scammers and chancers? I don't think anybody wants that?
The donation is exactly that, a voluntary donation. I'm sure many people donate who don't sell anything, some people donate a chunk of their sale, some don't donate when they sell something, others don't donate at all.
Perhaps rather than having the site free, with supporter status offering perks (such as being able to post in wanted ads), have it a completely paid for site if you want to post absolutely anything.
A £10/25 (?) sign up per year allows you to post across all topics.
Donations would still be possible if individuals wanted to give back a little from profits generated from the site.
