  I’ve copied the code from the PayPal page and pasted it into the html view of a page of mine.
  The code shows up fine in the text window and the button shows up in the view window UNTIL I hit the refresh button. Then the code disappears from text page, and the button disappears from the view page. The PayPal button doesn’t show up when accessing my site in a separate window either.
  I’ve tried this at least a dozen times, being very careful to do it correctly. I’m pretty savvy when it comes to this stuff, and I don’t think I’m doing anything other than what the instructions on PayPal, and what I’ve been able to find on your help pages. I searched your forums and didn’t find anything of any help. I’m attempting to attach the PayPal button to the Buy Now page of my site.
  HELP!!!

  This is the code that I see having been added to that page:

  <img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />

  That is not a paypal button code for a WordPress.com site.

  Here is what that code would typically look something (though not exactly) like this:

  <a href="paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd_xclick&business_blahblhablahblah%2ecom&lc=US&button_subtype"><img src="<img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" alt="Buy Now"></a>

  Are you following these instructions:
