  Nothing that requires my own server. At the simplest, someone can just send me the amount of my price, and I send them their stuff. Otherwise, PP can create button code that I insert into my html. If I could insert trustworthy code such as javascript into my page, that executes on the user's computer, that would be a fine compromise. I'm not anti-tech, but I feel that spinning up my own server (even on a cloud computing instance) would be a lot of complexity for my tiny business. I don't even know where to begin, should I want to secure such a server. I'm a good programmer, but have not done that kind of work before. I also don't trust my own skills to protect my users' security. Finalizing the transaction does occur at PayPal's site.

  You can let someone pay you via PayPal without them needing a PayPal account (they can use credit card) and without you needing a web page. PayPal has a feature where you can create a payment link and email it to someone.
