Paypal not giving options for multiple prices

I've installed a paypal buy now button on my website through Dreamweaver and webassist. The problem is that I can only add one price, I am selling spa services so I need a drop down menu or something to that effect so that people can choose the service they want and pay that specific amount.
Paypal gives you that option on their site but I can't do this through this program?

Any suggestions?

thank you

mary :)

I'm using PayPal453.mxp
on a mac osx 10.5.8

in the download center for the PayPal eCommerce Toolkit, there is a download for the PayPal eCommerce Toolkit Recipes. this is an extension that contains tutorial on how to add more complexity the paypal buttons that are created, such as drop down lists for options to change the price.

See the PayPal eCommerce Toolkit Recipes for details on how to accomplish this.

thanks Jason, but I can't find where the toolkit recipes are?? On webassist site or elsewhere, I'm looking but there is no tutorial or instructions from what I can see.

I have the recipes downloaded but I don't know whew to go from there, tutorial would be great so I can see step by step what to do. thanks :)

the tutorials can be accessed through the help menu.

Help -> Webassist -> PayPal eCommerce Toolkit

Ok you're really going to laugh at me, but which HELP? In dreamweaver or on the webassist site? When I try to access help in DW, I get nothing?

All it does is redirect me to this page? Am I missing something?
