This should not be this tough.

How do I change the Paypal price of an item I am selling on a web site?

This guy is selling a DVD off his website for $17.00. He's got a paypal button. He wants to lower the price to $12.00. That's all.

This page says it can be done by editing the html code that was pasted into the page to create the button, but I've looked at the that code and there is no variable for price that I can see.

I've been through the help files at paypal and for the life of me I can't resolve this. It's bugging me. It ain't rocket science!

Here's the page with the button.

It looks he's using an encrypted button, which doesn't let you change the fields like price. That's actually the point of using the encrypted version. The help page is wrong in this case.

To change it, he needs to create a new button from scratch.
