  I created a Paypal button in Paypal Merchant Services, and copied and pasted the code onto my blog about Haunted London, underneath the book price. But it didn’t show up when I published. I tried several times and once or twice I got the photo of the button, but no link. Then it seemed to disappear. Does WordPress allow Paypal buttons, or is this their way of blocking them?

  If I can’t use Paypal, how can I create a “Contact me” form which will enable people to email me, but without my having to expose my email address to the general public? I am a bit of a novice on WordPress, and still finding my way about.
  Thanks,
  Diana

  Have you tried the steps mentioned in Paypal support docs?

  Thanks, I hadn’t tried the email as opposed to the full html link. However, I have now printed out the WordPress instructions, followed them in vain about 6 times, and still the button doesn’t show, or if it does, the link isn’t there.

  I wish I could help you with adding a PayPal button. Could you try email option as well?

  However, here is how you can add a contact form.
