Sign up for a free website host and sub-domain with a website that allows you to enter your own codes for your site. The host must accept HTML and JavaScript. Examples of sites that allow these codes and provide free hosting and sub-domains are Bravenet and Webs.
Set up your website with a template, the title of your store, a description, and any other relevant information. Save your website.
Visit the PayPal website. Click 'Sign Up' below the login form. Select a Premier or Business account. Choose the business account only if you are operating under a group name (organization) or business. If you already have a PayPal account, move to step four.
Enter in all of the required information including your email, password, first and last name, birth date, address and phone number. The phone number must be valid. Read the User Agreement and Privacy Policy by clicking on the two links at the bottom of the form. Click 'Agree and Create Account.'
Confirm your email address. Check your email and click on the confirmation link sent by PayPal. If the link is not click-able, copy and paste it into your address bar.
Sign into your PayPal account. Click on the 'Merchant Services' tab and click the 'Add to Cart Button.'
Edit the information required. Under the 'Accept payments for' area, click the drop-down menu and select what you'll be selling. This could include products, services, subscriptions or gift certificates. Decide whether or not your customers will be able to purchase more than one item. If you're only selling a single item, you will only need a 'Buy Now' button. If you're selling multiple items, you will need an 'Add to Cart' button. Select the option that best fits your store.
Enter the name of the item you are selling and enter an item ID if there is one available. Otherwise, leave the ID area blank. Enter the price of the item and select the currency. If the item you're selling may come in different styles, sizes, or colors and there is a separate price for different designs, leave the price area blank and in the Customize Button box, click 'Add drop-down menu with price/option.' Enter the details of each different design or style and enter the prices.
Type in the amount the customer will be required to pay for shipping and select the currency. Enter the tax rate in the next box. Click on 'Secure Merchant Account ID' to keep your email address secure from your customers.
Click the 'Step 2' area under the form. Check the box that asks if you'd like to have a 'Save Button.' This will protect your buttons from fraudulent changes and allow you to create similar buttons and edit the ones you've made. Select the 'Track Inventory' box to get alerts when your inventory is low. Fill out the item ID, the number of items in stock, and the number of items you should have in the inventory before you're alerted.
Select the 'Track Profit and Loss' box if you'd like to see your profit or losses from your customers' transactions. Enter the cost of the item to keep track of the losses or gains. Choose whether you'd like to allow customers to buy an item even if it's sold out. Enter the URL of the page where you'd like your customer to land after they've clicked 'Continue Shopping.'
Click 'Step 3' under the second form. Customize your check-out page. Choose whether your customer can provide you with special instructions about the item they are purchasing. Choose whether you'd like to see your customers' shipping address and enter a URL where customers will land if they cancel their order, and the URL of a page they should see after a successful checkout. Add advanced variables if you are an advanced user.
Click 'Create Button.' Copy and paste the code onto your website. The button should show up on your page. Add images to these buttons in your website code.
Repeat steps 6 through 13 for every item that you would like to add to your store.
Save your website and preview it. Customers should now be able to purchase items from your PayPal store through your website.

How to Get Rid of the Red X on a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Contact the web page administrator if it is not your web page. The administrator will have to fix the page coding or upload the correct images to remove the red 'X.' You can usually find the contact information at the bottom of web page or on a contact page listed in the site links.
Check your Internet connection. If you are viewing a web page and your Internet connection goes down, the page will not display correctly. This can result in the red 'X' appearing where images should be. Check your modem. If the connection lights are not lit, unplug the modem, then plug it back. It should take about 10 minutes for the modem to restart. If the Internet connection light does not light up after 10 minutes, call your Internet provider.
Open the web page in a text editor if it is your own web page. Check the URLs of all your IMG tags. For example, if the image tag says, , check the images folder for a green.jpg. If it is not there, change the URL, or upload the image to that folder.
Check to see if Internet Explorer has images turned off. Go to 'Tools,' then 'Internet Options.' Next, click on the 'Advanced' tab. Check the box that says 'Show Pictures.'
Turn off your anti-virus software, then check the website again. Some anti-virus software can block images.

How to Upload My Web Site From Dreamweaver to BluehostIn Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Open Dreamweaver. Click 'Site' from the menu at the top of the screen. Select 'Manage Sites' from the drop-down selections. Then, select 'New Site.' Select the 'Advanced' tab.
Enter your site's name in the 'Site name' field. Select the location of your site for the 'Local root folder' by clicking on the folder icon next to the field. Your local root folder will be the location on your computer where you saved the website files you created to upload to Bluehost. Navigate to the folder of those saved files. For the 'Default images folder' field, click on the folder icon next to the field to select the location of your site's image folder. Your image folder will be a sub-folder of the location where you saved the website files you created.
Type the entire URL for your website in the 'HTTP address' field. Check the 'Case-sensitive links' box. (Bluehost files and folders are case-sensitive.) Click the 'Remote Info' category in the menu list on the left-hand side of the dialog in the 'Category' area.
Select the FTP option from the 'Access' drop-down menu. Enter your domain name in the 'FTP host' field in the format yourdomain.com.
Type '/public_html' (without quotes) in the 'Host directory:' field. If you are publishing a site to an add-on domain, type '/public_html/addon' in the field. An add-on domain is a new domain that you have added to your Bluehost account. The domain that you listed when you set up your Bluehost web hosting account is your primary domain.
Type your FTP username and password in the corresponding fields. Your cPanel username and password are identical to your FTP username and password. The cPanel is your web hosting control panel. You will see a link to it when you sign in to your account at Bluehost.com. You received the username and password via email when you signed up for Bluehost. If you created an additional FTP account for other users, the username will be in the format username@yourdomain.com. Click the 'Test' button to check settings. If you receive the error message 'An FTP error occured - cannot make connection to host', double-check that you have typed your FTP information correctly.
Check the 'Maintain synchronization information' box. Click the 'OK' button. Click the 'Done' button.
Connecting To The Web Server Using Dreamweaver
Click the 'Connect to Remote Host button,' which is the first icon in the Files panel in Dreamweaver. The program will retrieve information from your website and show the file listings in the Files panel. Make sure you are viewing the Files panel in expanded mode so you can see your local files and the server files in windows next to each other. Clicking on the very last icon at the right in the Files panel toggles the view.
Select 'Local view' from the top right-hand drop-down menu in the Files panel. Your local files will be on the left side of the panel and your remote web server files on the right.
Select all of the files on the local side by clicking and dragging your mouse over them. You can drag and drop files from the local side to the remote side, or you can click the 'Put files' button, which is a blue arrow icon pointing upwards, to transfer the files. Once you have transferred your files, your site is uploaded.
Go to your website's URL to check your work.
