PayPal Business type for freelancer for accepting donations

    Hey guys,
    I have a verified Paypal accounts it and have received couple of payments in past successfully. I am a programmer and recently set-ed up my website and it is used daily by many peoples so I thought why not add a donate button and went to Paypal create button page, but there was no option for "donate button". So googled and found that I need to upgrade Paypal account to business type to accept donations.
    So my problem is that which business type to choose from the categories provided, I see no category for a freelancer.
    Here are pics for business types :
    Main Categories :

    I thought that "services - other" and "computer, accessories.." would be of my type as I am a programmer freelancer so I took a pic of their sub-categories


    "computer, accessories.." Sub-category :

    "services - other" Sub-category :

    I hope you guys can tell me right category and sub-category for a programmer freelancer.

    You don't need to upgrade your account to business, if you just want to get donate for your work just using a premium account. Using a business account without a business license will lead to permanently limited, trust me, you won't want to ;)

    Oh ok, I upgraded to premium and saw that I didn't had any donation button so i google-ed and found out that in India donations through Paypal are not allowed. So any alternatives for donations in India?
