Purchasing In-Game add-ons...In-Game
clawstrider:
Honestly, this is a terrible idea, for all the reasons stated above. However, I'd just like to focus on one point here.

You've bought the game from Mojang, therefore it would logically make sense to play on Mojang's servers to get these items.
I'm sure they'd offer you a server for free. Oh... Wait...

By this reasoning, what is the point of the market? What does optical do with ALL the in-game market money? The point is not to eliminate donating, again the perks of donations would still be fully active. This would be an alternative to donating real money and using the in-game credits that you have worked to obtain.
Also, Clawstrider, "the reasons above" are boiled down to one: It would lower the amount of money coming in to financially support the server. Additionally, you can host your own server for free, set up a server computer through IP, I've done it. The Realms that Mojang are providing are Hosted by Mojang rather than your own server. This actually goes along with my point. You CAN set up a server for "Free" (provided you have the equipment to keep a stable server running functionally) if you want to, but for convenience you may "Buy" a realm. I'm suggesting that you can obtain these ad-ons for free (though it costs dearly in time spent on the server to obtain enough credits), or you can buy these ad-ons through donations for convenience.

Irrelevant, the market uses ingame items to trade ingame items.
The whole point of donating is to get perks you wouldn't get otherwise, if you added an ingame fee for it, there would be no incentive to donate real money for it.

This will not happen, i am not certain on how the donations paypal that pays for the server is holding up but with our drop in players i assume it's not doing well. We need all the money we an get to keep this server running.

You obviously have no idea what kind of hardware it takes to run a server of this size. It would be impossible for you to host this server on a home computer, not only because of the hardware required, but also because of the bandwidth and internet speed required.

Mob Disguises = $10 Donation or 100,000 in-game credits per disguise
Additional Homes = $10 Donation or 100,000 in-game credits for 5 additional homes
Titles = $20 Donation or 200,000 in-game credits
Teleport = $15 Donation or 150,000 in-game credits
Hats = $5 Donation or 50,000 in-game credits

There is always the possibility of convincing some nice player with a credit card to donate on your behalf in exchange for in-game incentives. I've done it for a few people before, I assume others have as well.
Feel free to make me an offer. :)
