From the PayPal site – https://merchant.paypal.com >Business >Products and Services


Your Payment Button Options:

We have a great choice of payment buttons. If you'd like to see how they look on your site, choose a button below and follow the instructions. When you receive your first order, we'll show you how to sign up for a PayPal Business Account so you can collect your money. Add a payment button to your site now and sign up later when you receive your first payment.

Or, if you go to PayPal, you can select your button and fill in the info boxes (price...). PayPal will generate the code snippet for your site.

I use simple PayPal buy now buttons. I have a Paypal account. You can actually use your own images as buttons.
I even trialed their add to cart system which is easy to use. Requires more work than Shopping Cart Creator.
I only sell software so at the most I will only need 5 or 6 buttons.
The code for a button is easy, fill in the values.

A lot of people are reluctant to buy online especially using Credit Cards. I am thinking of offering them the chance to use Cheques or Money orders. I have noticed that it is possible to get prepaid credit cards that can be topped up, I suppose a bit like a debit card in a way. I am thinking of exploring that and put up a PDF to advertise the fact. I may not be the one to benefit but it may help my adsence tick over
