PayPal micropayments are working!
$.25 in, $.19 out! It works! Not only am I out of PayPal jail, but PayPal knows about my bank account (and is happy with it). I converted the tip-joy.com donation button to my new micropayment-enabled PayPal account, asked my wife to donate a quarter (which she happily agreed to do -- you, too, can donate!)... and received $.19 in my account:
$.25 - $.05 = $.20
$.20 - 5% = $.19
As the tipjoy.com folks have pointed out, it's a whole lot of steps to make a PayPal payment -- even one as tiny as 25 cents. But, it's super-clear about what you're doing; no surprises, plenty of confirmations, etc.
I still have some polishing to do on the tip-joy.com site, but we're getting there! Any suggestions for the next poem?

According to my calculations, if someone donates a dollar, you get 90 cents:
1.00 - .05 = .95 x 5% = 90.25 cents.
