Paypal question

I'm tring to put a button on a site of mine and I keep getting this error:
We were unable to decrypt the certificate id.
I've looked it up and everyone says its because its not copy and pasting properly .Is there something special that needs to be done to put a PP button in a Wp blog?

    If it is into a post or page, look for the "HTML" tab on the top-right corner of the input box. If you paste while in HTML mode the paypal button should work.

    Where are you pasting the code? (The above assumes you aren't editing template files.)

      I was pasting it into a wordpress blog. I did switch it to html before I pasted the code in. I was trying to paste it into a page and not a post, if that makes any difference?

          ACtually, I did see it thanks, and I tried redoing the button several times with always the same results. He did suggest trying to make aa "clear text button" but I wasn't sure what he meant, and I didnt find any other options. ( I'm trying to pur a donation button on the site, not a payment for a product.)

            Assuming your Paypal page looks the same as mine(in Canada), the plain text option is at the bottom of step one.

            If you use the plain text option, some people, really tech savvy ones, will be able to figure out your email address from looking at the url.
