The image must be stored on a secure server. The address line for a secure server starts with: https://
If you don't access to a secure server, there are several free services available to store your graphic.
Check out this site: http://www.sslpic.com/
You create the graphic:
RESTRICTIONS:
GIF or JPG file only.
Filesize
not more than 50 KB.
Width not more than 750 pixels.
Height not more than 90 pixels.
Then upload it.
You will get an email with a link that shows the address.
You then use that address in your item button code.
** Displaying your business and/or logo graphic on the PayPal Screens.
* Your PayPal Account must be a "Business Account".
* The maximum size for your business and/or logo graphic is 750 pixels wide by 90 pixels high.
* The business and/or logo graphic format can be a gif, jpg or png.
* The business and/or logo graphic should be stored on a secure or https server.
Note, if your business and/or logo graphic is not stored on a secure server, each time the PayPal screen is displayed, a security message will say that this page contains both secure and nonsecure items, do you want to display the nonsecure items? This may scare of some of your customers.
If you don't have access to a secure server, there are 3rd party services that can do this for you. For example, check out this site, "www.sslpic.com", the service is free and works well.
If you want to keep it simple, you can use the "cpp_header_image" variable in your button HTML code. The line of code would look similar to the example below. Note, you would need to include this line of code with each item and any View Cart Buttons you have.
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="cpp_header_image" value="https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlogo.gif">
If you are "hosting" your button code on PayPal Servers you can also use the "cpp_header_image" variable in your button HTML code.
How to modify button code using the "Advanced Variables" in Step 3.
Note the text box near the bottom of the page. There you can insert extra variables.
For example, to insert the "cpp_header_image" variable just enter:
cpp_header_image=https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlogo.jpg
There's no HTML extras, just the name of the variable, an equal sign and the value.
If you are using text type button links, then you need to include the following in your text link code:
&cpp_header_image=https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlogo.jpg
You can also setup custom pages through your PayPal Account. To learn more about how to setup your custom pages, download a copy of PayPal's Website Payments Standard Integration Guide and PayPal's Merchant Setup and Administration Guide from this URL:

Should you have everything setup properly and your business and/or logo graphic is not displaying try deleting your web browser's cookies. When ever you make changes to HTML Button Code and want to test your new code, you should delete your web browser's cookies, close your browser, reopen and then test. If you don't delete the cookies before you test to see the new email address or business graphic logo on the PayPal Screens, you will still see the old information.
