FWIW it's not legal to operate a website in the EU for a business (including sole-traders) without having a bricks-and-mortar address given.

This http://www.ukwda.org/blog/is-your-website-legal is for UK, but cites the EU legislation.

I wonder how these sites work with EU "value added tax" regulations, a couple of years ago new rules came in that need fastidious record keeping - whilst this is "donations" it seems it might be considered "voluntary payments for goods/services" which presumably attract tax confusions?
