  We have instructions for that here:

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

  Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

  When I go into text editor and add the pay pal donate link it shows in the visual editor as a link not a button.

  Can you save a draft of whatever post/page you are working on so I can take a look at it?

  So, the issue is that you haven’t added an image link yet. At the bottom of http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ are a bunch of different URLs for paypal buttons. You would want to create HTML in your post that looked something like this:

  <a href="http://https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=XXXXXXXXX1234"><img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_SM.gif" alt="Small Buy Now Button" /></a>

  But of course using your paypal code and not the fake XXXXXXXXX1234 one that I put in.

  Does that make sense?
