The button code looks like this:

I'm using the param "item_number" as it seemed kind of right for this purpose.  Mostly I'm going by the docs here:

http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_pdn_donate_techview_outside

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?  This setup here looks like it oughta work:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1710934/paypal-checkout-buttons-and-custom-variables

The available parameters here seem to say that the donate button does allow the use of the item_number parameter:

https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables


So I'm not sure where to go next: is there a test mode or anything for this?  It's probably something simple.  I'll also have a little more reading around but any tips at this point would be cool if anybody's done this stuff before.
