You need to first be a $5 donator, and meet some other easy requirements which I'm sure you've already done (its like post coint/join date or something). Just do $5 through a bond holder or get a friend to do it for you.
Pretty sure first donation needs to be via someone. It doesnt have to be bond holder, most of trusted gold buyers & sellers can also donate your account for GP / some of them can do PP
What are you on about? There's always some fee when donating through a bond holder. They charge a fee to cover their own asses when a chargeback occurs, and they need paid for their time.
Simply put no. You may not donate on your own behalf for the first 5 dollars. You must have someone donate on your behalf it can be an official bond holder or any user you trust.
