  What exact HTML did you copy from Paypal? They always give you two versions: the encrypted form and the unencrypted form. Only the unencrypted form will work here.

  Paste the exact code here in the forum between backticks (they key to the left of the #1 with the ~ on it). Backtick at the beginning and at the end of the code.

  <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_donations”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”396URCELFYAUY”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”lc” value=”US”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”item_name” value=”Laptop Memo WordPress.org Fundraiser”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”bn” value=”PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted”>
  <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>

  That is the “form” code from paypal and it will not work here. Review this support document: http://support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  Watch the video at the bottom of that support page and it will walk you through creating a donate button.
