A very SIMPLE tip jar:

Make something out of prims. Whatever you fancy, could look like a tip jar, could look like a 1969 Volkswagon Beatle. Could just be a one prim cube dressed with a nice texture.

Edit the object, go to the contents tab, hit "new script", double click the new script to edit, delete everything inside and replace with this:

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]);
}

money(key id, integer amount)
{
llInstantMessage(id, "Thanks for the tip, sucker!";);
}
}

If you want anything more complicated, there are lots of tip jars out there you can buy, but a simple one is super easy to make yourself. IM me in world if you'd like a hand.

EDIT:
Important - you must be the owner of the tip jar, as when someone pays money to the object, that money goes to its owner.

On this: llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]); the 5 will be the default pay amount, and 10,50,100 will be the quickpay amounts assigned to buttons. The payer will have the option of overriding these and typing in an amount manually.

*There are freebie tip jars I've seen around, but considering some of the scams that clear out your account if you are not paying attention to the HUGE yellow drop down sign...especially with you being new...I'd avoid that

*While on a treasure hunt the other day in a mall, I ran across a store that sells various types of tip jars (type the words "tip jars" into classifieds and you will probably get quite a few hits. The one I saw was close to Dani's store The Urban Shopper Mall:

*And I see (and have taken) classes on making tip jars :)

Hmn, I'd gotten several freebie Tip Jars from various sources, but hadn't gotten around to opening any of them. I wouldn't have thought about the possibility of them being Linden-account-emptying scams---good to know!
