Ways to Advertise PayPal Buttons

Website
The primary way to advertise a PayPal button is on a business website. If you sell your products and services from your own business website, PayPal has HTML code you can copy and paste into your website. Place the button near the product or service you sell. When buyers click on the button, it takes them through the PayPal shopping cart to complete the purchase transaction.
EBay
Whether or not you sell your products and services from your own website, you can also advertise your PayPal buttons on eBay. EBay allows sellers to place PayPal buttons in auctions as well as Buy Now Transactions, where the product or service sells for a flat rate rather than in a bid situation.
Emails and E-newsletters
You can also advertise your PayPal buttons in email blasts and e-newsletters that you send to subscribers on your list. You can promote either a single product or service with a PayPal button in an email or several products or services in one email, each with its PayPal button. You can also insert one or two products or services, along with coordinating PayPal buttons in e-newsletters that regularly go out to subscribers. Providing PayPal buttons in emails and e-newsletters makes it easy for buyers to purchase directly from the email, without having to go to your website to complete the transaction.
