OK, first I don't know if this is legal. I don't know if we can even trust people enough for this.
PersonA has donated their max $2,300 but has more to give.
PersonB can't afford to donate their max.
PersonB sells a "RP Penny" on ebay for $2,300 and PersonA buys it.
PersonB donates the winnings to Ron Paul.
Legal? Trustworthy?

People are already doing this through autographed bills and other items. Search "RP08" on eBay and you will see quite a few results.

Well, this is what the donation page says
"3. I am making this contribution with my own personal funds, and I will not be reimbursed by anyone for this contribution."
It sounds a little suspect to me. I would think that this qualifies as "reimbursement" from another party. However, it's hard to determine exactly what is on the up-and-up and what isn't. I don't know how one could determine that the donation wasn't from someone's "personal funds" anyway.

Well, I think if you sold something on ebay and donated that money, you're OK, but I'm not a lawyer.

You could use the digital delivery option on eBay. Then when people pay, eBay would send them an email with your info. See:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/selling-digital-items.html
What you can sell is a list of Ron Paul resource links. Now be sure you explain what they are getting in the description of the item.

I previously talked to an election lawyer about this, and basically if it is logical to conclude that you are getting money from another person to donate then it is illegal, which is why i didnt set up a website to specifically do that, like i had planned. In the end though, its the government who is watching you, Im pretty sure its not too hard to outsmart them!
