    Only if either you have a merchant account of your own to accept the payments, or you use someone else's merchant account to process them (such as PayPal's, 2Checkout's, or that of some other online payment processor).

    If you're accepting credit-card payments, then somewhere along the line a merchant account is being used to process those payments.

    2Checkout might be worth a look. If you use that, then your visitors can pay by PayPal (more or less essential, surely?) without your needing to use your own PayPal account to collect the money from the processor. But I don't know whether "donations" fall within their terms of service. However you do this, you're going to need to read a lot of terms of service very carefully, though. And to appreciate the difference between a "merchant account" and a "payment processor".

        Then you'll need either to have a merchant account of your own or to use someone else's merchant account (if not PayPal, then some other processing-service) to process them.

              With credit-cards, also.

              (I don't know what PayPal's rules are for refunds of donations.)

              Not really, I'm afraid, other than 2Checkout, mentioned above.

              I think you're far more likely to receive donations if you do take PayPal than if you don't. I don't quite understand why you're so concerned about people requesting refunds for "donations"? Donations are voluntary, anyway, surely? I would have thought there's a far lower risk of refunds than there would be if you were selling something?
