  If you created the things yourself, you can sell them. Make a blog post for each different item, and put the Paypal donate button in each. Tell people to let you know what items they want, and to fill in the amount themselves.

  Thank you very much for your help! I have another question you might help me with. Would you know anything about how to charge for shipping or those that come with the pay pal? Were would I find the pay pal donate button? Once again, thanks!!!!

  As for the shipping charges, you will have to determine them yourself. Go to UPS or the USPS or FedX or whatever companies serve your country with a sample package of your work to get a general idea of how much you should charge.

  As for pay pal, have your read this?

  Also note that you do not have to limit yourself to the donate button. I received this email from staff member Ryan:
  “The use of a PayPal button that’s not a Donate button isn’t actually a violation of the WordPress.com ToS.

  As long as the button is a plain HTML button it will work.”
