I found this post that answers your question, tho it's not good news: https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Merchant-services/Offering-customers-a-promotional-code-or-Coupo...
I hope they fix this soon. It seems like a really basic option to have.

Hello jackfrisch and kenzilisa,
It is possible to create code with the PayPal shopping cart to receive discounts. However when creating the code you would add additional variables in the last step when creating your PayPal button. The PayPal shopping cart is a very simple cart to use with the option to add options by customizing the cart check out. The best place to get advice on how to customize your cart to offer discounts or coupons would be the PayPal Developer Forum. I hope this helps.

I've thought of a solution to the discount code issue - simply offer a rebate. I am a small antiques dealer and can't afford a website AND shopping cart, so I used paypal's free add to cart buttons to process payments. I want to run a sale, but can't afford the time or effort to change every button! I plan on offering a 10% Rebate sale on my website - that is, after sale, I will rebate back 10% of the total merchandise price. Does anyone see a flaw with this idea? thanks!
