  I have read your support articles and watched the video tutorial to add a paypal button to my blog. I have attempted about 10 times now and it still isn’t working. Am I only permitted to add a “donate” button? Or can a “buy now” button be added?

  When I enter the code into the html box and select update or publish, the button code vanishes except for one line.

  Any tips on how to get this working?

  While you can sell your work on your blog, no blogger initiated advertising, retailing, or reselling of work created or services provided by other people is allowed on WordPress.com.

  This link will give you instructions for using a Paypal button on your blog:

  If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality beyond this, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you set up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this link to learn about the differences:
