  You cannot use the full javascript button, but this explains how to use the plain HTML version: http://support.wordpress.com/paypal/ .

  I am trying to add a “Add to Cart” button to my blog but the “icon” I should paste the PayPal code into the Link URL field is ENABLE. Someone knows how to change it? Thanks a lot!

  Selling things, except for a couple very narrow exceptions, is not allowed on wordpress.COM. For the exceptions, see the last sentence under “Affiliate marketing blogs” in the bottom set of bullet points in the “types of blogs” link below.

  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/

  Basically if you make things yourself with your own hands (pottery, paintings, crafts) then you can sell them through an Etsy Shop. If you wrote your own book you can link to it on Amazon.

  You cannot add shopping carts here since the code used to create them is not allowed here at wordpress.COM due to security concerns.
