Hello Paul,
By "Yahoo business site", do you mean http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/ecommerce/ ?
This includes a full PayPal integration already, so you wouldn't need to copy / paste any buttons.
I would suggest contacting the Yahoo support team, as they'll be able to walk you through setting up PayPal within your Yahoo store.
Note: Although PayPal will be configured as the payment gateway, we don't have specific instructions for all ecommerce cart systems / website editors. The ecommerce cart system in question (Yahoo Stores) would have the specific instructions on how to enable PayPal within their software.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if you run into any other issues, or if you happen to be using a different Yahoo product.
For technical assistance with PayPal merchant product offerings, please file a ticket at https://www.paypal.com/mts/
