Oh for GOD's sake, WordPress, that is not the code. FIX THE CODE TAGS.

Here is what you need:

It appears you took out the link entirely instead of just the extra http. Now all it has is the image and a link closing tag, not the link opening tag that should go in front of the image code.

What you need is

No, you just go into the text widget and remove the first http:// from that particular link. Double check all the URLs in the code to make sure there's only one http in them. Then Save the widget and close it.

If you want it to work, yes. The first version has an extra https in it, and will not work.

You have a problem with the URL.

Look at this incorrect URL:
http://https//www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ZAMSUL5QGE2QW

Now look at the correct one:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ZAMSUL5QGE2QW

but the image and the url came up in my posts section. how do i move it to the sidebar.

I soul switch to the Text (HTML) editor and carefully copy all of the code. then I would paste it into a text widget and after I was sure it worked I would go back and delete the draft post.
