  Hi there,

  As long as you are the author, you can indeed sell your books through your blog on WordPress.com using PayPal. We do not however offer any sort of payment gateway however, so you will need to setup your account yourself.

  Wonderful!
  But I tried to set up a paypal shopping cart button in wordpress using your directions and it didn’t work. I noticed the code was different than the donation button examples you used on the help page, so I tried adding the start and end characters in your example to the paypal URL and it still didn’t work.
  Any clue?
  Maybe I can’t use a shopping cart button. Maybe I have to use a “buy” button?
  Thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

  Hi there,

  Yes, you do indeed need to use a “buy” button. I apologize for the confusion!
