The problem wasn't the link on the preview page, it was rather my human error in pasting the paypal code itself into the link. I didn't realize that it wasn't automatically deleting the first http:// and replacing it with the full one, but rather had http://https:// and then the code. Of course, it wasn't working! Thank you to raincoaster and timethief!!!

I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

Yes, I used the link in the preview. I tried first just to type the exact wordage, but that didn't work either. Where should I get the link that works?

Can you give us a link to the page on your blog where you've got the button? If it's in the preview, I don't think it works.

In the site linked to your name, I see the button just fine.

You can link to a web store if you host it elsewhere on the web, but staff do suspend blogs if they think the sole purpose of the blog is to drive people to the web store.

I didn't realize you couldn't sell things on WP using Paypal.

Can anyone suggest any alternative so that I can still sell my book on WordPress, rather than move "offshore"? i.e. is there any safe alternative to Paypal?

And can anyone suggest a web site where I could in fact sell my book by building my own page (i.e. not Amazon or AbeBooks or Biblio where they take a commission?

The ONLY button from Paypal that we are allowed to use here is the unencrypted Donation button. If ecommerce is central to your website, you will need to find independent hosting and move off WordPress.com, because we don't allow the code for the other Paypal buttons, for security reasons.
