  I’ve tried to follow the tips in Support but when I go to copy the code and follow: “Copy the ‘Email’ link that PayPal provides to you in step 8 here. Make sure you choose the ‘Email’ tab, or the code won’t work with your WordPress.com site.”

  However, there is no ’email’ tab on the PayPal site. Just a ‘website’ tab.
  I’ve tried using the code from the website tab and sure enough I cant get it to work. Suggestions please?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Login to your PayPal account and select Merchant Services. On the right sidebar named Key Features select Buy Now Buttons and create your button. After that just copy and paste the provided HTML code to the WordPress PayPal widget.

  You have to paste the PayPal code in a Text Widget.

  Your PayPal code goes between the quotation marks where it says YOUR-LINK-HERE in the following code:

  YOUR-LINK-HERE”><img src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif” alt=”Buy Now Button” />

  The correct code is:

  <a href="YOUR-LINK-HERE"><img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" alt="Buy Now Button" /></a>
