Yes, but the trick is, you can't use "hosted" or "encrypted" item button code. The online button creator will only allow 10 options, for more, you need to manually code your item button code. This means the code cannot be stored on the PayPal Servers.
To save coding time, you can use the Online Button Creator to generate a starting point. Here's how:
* First, start with a new item button.
* "Uncheck" the option for "Save Button At PayPal" in Step 2.
* After you "Create" the button code, in the window that displays the code look for the link that says "Remove Code Protection". Select this link. Your code is now ready for customization.
Just to show you how you can do what you have in mind, check out the example below:

One more tip when you're testing item button code:
After you have made your changes to your item button code, be sure to delete your web browser's cookies, temp files and history before testing the changes. This ensures a clean start. Delete the browser's cookies, temp files and history, then close the browser, reopen it and then test your code. Should you not do this each time, you may get unexpected results due to the previous cookie history.
