You'll figure out right away that I am a novice at this and just learning Acrobat. I've created a form, but I want the ability to be able to submit the form and at the same time have a buy now button via paypal so that I can receive payment. Basically an online registration form... Can anyone help me?

A search of the forums turned up [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=12251]is there a way to pass the value of a form to paypal bank in acrobat javascript?[/url]. There is a link to the paypal community. You should be able to use the JavaScript Soap object with LiveCycle Designer forms.

If the PayPal link is static (i.e. isn't altered by the choices on the PDF form) then you can simply drop a normal weblink button on the PDF and paste in the (vast, complicated) URL from PayPal's Button Generator, available on their website.
If the link depends on the form, then you could either build the URL using Javascript inside the PDF (PayPal's documentation tells you what all the variables mean) or send the raw form data to your own website as part of the submission process, and have your webserver build and display a button outside of the PDF. That would be the only way to handle things if your PayPal account is set to only accept encrypted buttons, as Acrobat/Reader doesn't have the ability to build the key-based hashes itself.
You can't just throw the form XML-style data to PayPal as they insist on a very specific GET or POST format for the button parameters. You also won't be able to pull PDT/IPN data back into a PDF.
