If you were able to buy the ability to set up shops, I really don't think loads of people would donate for that - so personally as long there is a limit to the number you can make there is no problem. As for the location as I said I don't see the need for them to be around the spawn, just put them at your /home.
Overall, it's a very nice idea but an unnecessary one. If it were to go through however there would be a small limit as to how many you place and you wouldn't place them at the spawn.
These are my ideas anyway.
(sorry if there are mistakes, I'm on my phone :p)

Oh many ppl will donate for shops, this have been implemented on many of the top minecraft servers and is in demand (justicecraft)
It is very necessary, as at times theres only 7-10ppl only (3pm-6pm gmt+8) and it is very hard to sell or buy stuffs.
Take note if the shop system were to be set up it will be more of a shopping mall then the whole spawn littered with tiny houses.
It would be much easier for players to source out for a better bargain if it is located at the spawn, showcasing everything everyone is selling on opticraft. If you set it at ur /home, theres a danger for the shop to be trapped (eg buyer get killed after buying), also would u want to /home to everyone on opticraft just to find the cheapest cobble stones?

it's nice that you're still promoting your idea, but as I implied earlier in this topic, user-made shops are simply not an elegant solution. They litter the landscape, require a potentially buggy plugin, and need to be regulated to be useful. I can agree that the difficulty of trading items with other users is a problem, but please spend your time thinking of a more elegant solution. and it should NOT be tied in as any sort of donation reward. that is just dumb.
in other news, with this explosion of population, the server is likely going to have to change the way chat works. something that is being looked at it implementing local chats, global chats, and potentially chat channels. this could easily allow an item-trading channel to be implemented. with so many people on now, it may just be an elegant solution.

This are NOT usermade shop, the user only put their items in the chest and change the signs, the shops are designed by mods and ops, to ensure it looks AWESOME :D

In other servers even with donations HUNDREDS of ppl are applying for aa shop app, so to limit the amount of shops, donation for shops in opticraft is a good idea. This is to ensure that shop owners are HARDCORE opticraft players,who regularly restock the shops, and who are willing to donate a small amount of money, to have a spot to sell their stuff. It is not feasible for everyone on opticraft to have a shop.T/N the players wont make the shop, they only put their stuff in shops admins make so that shops will have some standard.. xD

Just set up a personal shop by your /home. Like t always has been. And go to it when you have time.

theres a chance of traps being set at ur /home, plus it is much easier to find the stuff u want to buy by going to a "shopping centre" then to tp one by one to everyone's home to find out who has the cheapest cobblestone for sale xD

I would personally love to see an area set aside like /warp players market (horrible name) but an area where we pay a fee to sell items maybe give players a chance to sell other items that the market doesn't (like slimeballs or potions...)
I agree chests all over the server would just end up being a huge mess but something like our existing market would give players who have already built homes something to spend time doing as well as a place for players to find items that our present market doesn't carry.
This area could be just a building where players warp to so that it would always look nice.
/don't be hating =D
