Buy Now button to PP homepage

I am new to making a website and html and am having a problem with my Buy Now button.  I have a business account that is verified and just put a Buy Now button on my website (http://sites.google.com/site/lllofsoc/home/membership)  but when I click it, it takes me to the PP homepage (or to the Account Overview screen if I'm logged in) and there is no reference to the item that is being bought.  I tried to solve the problem with some of the suggestions on other threads, but I haven't had any luck yet.  I have the Paypal Optional turned on in my account settings.  I erased all the cookies and then tried again and the same thing happened.  I even tried using a different account login when it took me to the Paypal homepage but still no transaction info.
 
The code I was given and pasted into the website is below (it gave me a failure message at first, but I changed the formatting according to an answer on another thread and it worked, but still takes me to the PP homepage):

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="TUS2MCP55A5C8">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Membership Type">Membership Type</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
 <option value="New Member">New Member $40.00</option>
 <option value="Renewing Member">Renewing Member $40.00</option>
</select> </td></tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>


Is this some kind of google site translation/wiget issue?  Not sure if this is why the button is not working (or maybe that's what the button is supposed to do and I just didn't understand that?)
 
Any insight or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thank you.

The example code you posted works perfectly fine when tested in blank web page.  This tells me that your issue is not a PayPal problem but, more with your HTML Editor and/or web page or site.  What you need to do is find out how your HTML Editor and/or web site handles basic HTML Forms as the example code you posted is just a basic HTML Form.

I have been trying to get my Website set up for the past two week....And the most  ridicules, and incomplete instructions, is what I continue to get from Pay Pal, therefore, being unable to finish my  Pay Pal account,  and moving on to something really important...Now, Pay Pal, tells me where the code is, for the Buy Now Button on my account, plus they tell you how to copy and paste it. But what they do not tell you is WHERE AT,  in my Website Back Office, do I  paste it. I have no clue, and can not find some single thing, that might even suggest, which of my many, banners do II paste it into....

Best Regards
