In the US I've found most clinics are actually fairly picky about the traits they will accept in egg "donors"--who are usually reasonably well-compensated, which is, I suppose, why they can be so selective.
(I think it might be nice to pass on my genetic material. But no one paying through the nose--or any other orifice--for genetic material wants mine. Can't say I blame them.)
In the UK, as I said, they're desperate. IVF is a usably reliable technology, but the fact that it's the business of selling hope means that financial parasites have flocked to it, and that's led to heavy regulation ... heavy enough to put donors off. And payment is legally restricted to actual expenses, to a not very big upper limit. So the requirement is pretty much "don't have HIV or known genetic disorders."
So what I said above applies if you're in the UK. Get donating!
