it's actually not that complicated. As far as I know, you can easily 
copy the HTML code, which would be:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; method="post">
        <p>
        <input name="lc" value="EN" type="hidden">
        <input name="cmd" value="_donations" type="hidden">

type="hidden">

        <input name="item_name" value="The Document Foundation" type="hidden">
	<input name="amount" size="4" maxlength="10" value="10"
