With Website Payments Standard there is no way from within your PayPal Account to differentiate a wholesale purchase from a retail purchase. This would have to done your web page and/or site. One option would be to have a separate page or section for wholesale purchases. You can use the tax variable in your item button code with a value equat to 0 however, you still need a method to identify a wholesale or retail purchase, thus a separate page or section is the easiest.

Check out PayPal's Website Payments Standard Integration Guide which can be found here. The guide explains how the various item code variables are used in your item button coding.
