The only thing is it will display the person's e-mail address. This not a bug per say, but rather a limitation on how the bb code manager interacts with paypal's generated code.For a dude who don't like paypal you actually did this for me awww thank you.
Do not parse BB Codes placed within this BB Code.
Will still leave you with

If there is an option to hide / disable bb code inside the bb code manager other than
Do not parse BB Codes placed within this BB Code.
Do not parse smilies within this BB Code.
Stop conversion of line breaks to HTML line breaks.
I'm unaware of it.

I can do it with a mediasite for buttons generated at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/standard-integration, which allows you to choose default buttons or your custom images.
That would be perfect if it were possible.

completely possible, absolutely and completely possible, I'll check it over coffee tomorrow when I wake up (passing out soon)
Yurp, after you create the button for this you just need to select the email tab for the button...
Now that I think of it you will only be getting the link as you cant obviously paste in the html, so the custom image would have to be done another way xenforo side...I will sleep on it and figure it out.

Ok so I have this working now but am still testing it as it was kind of complex to do considering that it was just a button that was being added.
I don't know if I will have time to do all of the testing today as I have told someone who donated that I would upload the mediasites pack update today and that takes priority.
I did do some basic testing and from what I have seen it looks like it is working as you can see in this image
Usage will be like this...
If a user posts a link like this with no alterations it will imbed as the first button in the above image with a default button image for buy now.

If the user adds a
/cart
/donate
/gift
/subscription
it will create he appropriate button that corresponds with the /buttonTypeFlag
example:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7XT3W6PZTSDMS/cart
---
If the user adds (with or without the button type above) a /imageURL the image will be used instead which i did as a test with that speedtest image
examples:

I don't know when I will get to the final testing but I will once obligations to contributors have been fulfilled and then I will post it up.
