Hi, you can't install plugins on Wordpress.com (the free version) sites.   I've explored every option, what I need is really simple there must surely be a way to do it.   I HAVE to use a direct link it's the only way Wordpress will allow a button on a free blog.   But rather than going to the normal "email invoice" type layout I need it to go to the "payment" page.   It is quite odd actually that the email invoice page is not styled or branded like a typical Paypal page (doesn't even have the Paypal logo on it).   I really do believe it's putting people off buying since they trust Paypal and are okay with paying through Paypal, but they don't recognise the page when they land on it and it makes them think twice.   Maybe Paypal could tweak the style of the invoice page to look like the Paypal brand? ...

Hi, here's my problem, I sincerely hope someone can help:   I had a website doing really well until Google hit it in the last update, so I've recreated my site on a free Wordpress blog (wordpress.com) and got it ranking again.   Problem is Wordpress won't allow a Paypal buy it now button since it's a web form, they only allow direct links like the email link you can create instead of a buy it now button.   Since doing this my sales have died - I mean literally, for example this month 170 people have clicked on my "purchase this service" button ans only ONE has actually purchased anything!   What I'd like to do is to be able to send people from that free wordpress blog to a "buy it now" type page, since the one using the email link looks different - isn't branded as Paypal and isn't a case of simply entering your user name & password & clicking the button to check out, you need to click the button to get to the checkout page...   Is there any way to take the info in the web form for a buy it now button and create a direct href link that will take people to the checkout page rather than the intermediary "email invoice" page?   Please?   Pretty, pretty please?   This is killing me! ...
