Hi zandyring ,
Thank you so much for your response! i thought i was writing to PayPal, but then discovered the msg was going to WordPress instead. A PayPal phone rep referred me to Google "Wordpress PayPal buttons", where i found an excellent WordPress help video. The solution was one i should have thought of myself: The PayPal button with the charge card logos is a simple graphic which can be pasted onto the WordPress post. The link to PayPal (the EMAIL style link, NOT the html link) then becomes a normal WordPress link attached to the inanimate graphic of the button to activate it. Should have thought of that meself! Since the PayPal email-style buttons do NOT allow options (such as S, M, L, XL, XXL T-shirts for example), you need 1 button for each option (see http://craigbuhler.com/play-by-ear/purchase-new-ears-resolution/). I also discovered that, since there are several places on my WordPress site that direct the viewer to purchase the item, and since it can be purchased either as a physical book or a pdf download, and since my vendors may change in the future, it is much better to link to a single seperate "BUY THIS PRODUCT" page. Getting the 4 buttons and their corresponding option descriptions to line up properly was VERY DIFFICULT!!! Do you have any tips on how to do this? It would be much easier if WordPress had a "multiple column" feature or a "table" option to get everything to line up.
Thank you for your assistance.
