  Where can I find a Buy Now PayPal image to copy and insert in my WordPress.com post? I’ve followed the WordPress.com Support Page on adding a PayPal button, but it’s not working for me. The problem is that it tells me to add an image for people to click on in Step 9. As examples, the Support page actually gives various image source codes for the Donate button that you can copy and use. I need the Buy Now button. When I go to PayPal, I create a button link, but there is no image associated with it. It’s just the email link that needs to be attached to the Buy Now button image. How can I get a functional Buy Now button on my WordPress.com site? Thanks for your help!

  Buy Now PayPal button

  WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce transactions. Only wordpress.org installs can be equipped for ecommerce. We can only use a PayPal donation button on free hosted wordpress.com blogs for items we ourseleves create or services we personally provide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  timethief,

  Thank you very much for your response! I’m trying to startup an online business with minimal cost and technical frustration to myself. The last post you sent with the link of macmanx was very helpful. I learned PayPal will do Online Invoices that can be sent directly to customer’s email account and can pay that way.
