  Yes, but you can still only use the Donate button. It’s not full ecommerce.

  If I make my own button does that have to say ‘Donate’, can my button say ‘Buy Now’?
  I don’t understand why it has to say donate if I am trying to sell.
  I have a Paypal premium account and it seems to allow the creation of a buy button, and the link code for selling the items from the blog.
