inserting paypal button

Permalink
Hi and thank you in advance for any help. I am trying to insert a 'buy it now' button using a html code supplied to me from paypal but when i add a html block and insert the code nothing appears after i save the page.

There is simply nothing there and when i return to edit mode the box remains a thin line but when i edit it the code is gone.

???

here is the code

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="F2ALYCW4G2KSL">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_AU/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_AU/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

and here is a website that confirms the code works fine.

I was able to add it to a site and successfully go to paypal from it, it added a 1k to the cart to pay for something. If you are using the html block not the content block it should work. There used to be a paypal block but I think it was just on a forum post not a marketplace item. I am attaching it here not sure if it still works this was years ago.

just does not seem to want to work for me? :(

I am using the soul mate template. it refuses to even make the button appear when i add the code into a html block and save.

I also tried various codes provided by twitter and facebook but The html box is not accepting any html. it simply creates nothing.
