  Do not use any instructions other than the ones provided in the support doc I link to below.

  Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
  Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.

  Timethief is correct, the instructions here are the ones you need to use:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  However, we have gotten a couple of reports that Paypal has changed something on their end. Can you let me know if you were using those instructions and still cannot get the button to work?

  @melchizedekia144 are you able to find an email payment link at Paypal? If you can find that we should be able to help.
