I happened to know a guy who made a living by donating plasma twice a week. 
“Just for money as I didn't have a job.”
“I am so sorry to hear this,” I was very surprised and felt sorry for him, “How much did you get paid? How long have you been donating?” 
“ One hundred dollars each time. I had been doing this for several years. But I just got a job recently! I don’t need to donate for a while~” He was happy with his new job~
 
I admired people like him as he got money from his donating plasma instead of getting alms from the government, but I wish him not to donate plasma anymore as he had already donated enough~
 

So, the story reminds me, “Do not let making a living prevent you from making a life.”

donate or sell? How long is the plasma recovery time?

He used the word“donate”. But I think he got the money as

“rewarding” for his time~(I just Googled on internet)

刚查到的The body typically replenishes plasma within 24 to 48 hr

So the limit of plasma donation is twice a week, volume per?
妖妖灵
I think so, but that is too often~ 刚查到的,凭体重:

range from 455ml~800ml

The volume of plasma collected during a donation depends on the donor's weight and size, and can range from 455–800 mL: 100–149 lbs: 625 mL 150–174 lbs: 750 mL 175 lbs and up: 800 mL
