PayPal - Purchases without "Buy Now" buttons - paypal

I am trying to support special sales of my items on my website to certain users (such as 50% off) but I cannot do this with the traditional "Buy Now" buttons as users could just copy and paste the url of that offer and everyone would get the special sale instead of select users.
Are there ways to sell through PayPal without using their buttons that could support "one time" offers to a single user so that the special sales would not be abused?
Thanks for any help!

Common Paypal Button to accept payments

I have e-book selling website where I used a paypal button to accept the payment. The button is created from paypal website and its code snippet is added in the form to show the button(not via api). When I set the currency of the button to USD then indian paypal users are not able to use the button. It says "Merchant Does bot accept payment in your currency". If I change it to INR then it only accepts the indian customers only.
Is there any way to accept all currencies via a common button. I means Indians could pay me in INR and Others in USD.
Thanks in advance.
No, separate currencies are needed due to Indian regulations, and there is no support for combining multiple currencies (and their respective amounts) within a single button, other than coding it yourself.
If you generate buttons at PayPal, you need one button for domestic payments in INR, and another button for international payments in a currency such as USD.
It's possible to make something like a dropdown or radio buttons that switch a single PayPal button between the configurations for amount1/USD and amount2/INR -- i.e., give the buyer a way to select their country and change the amount/currency based on that -- but to do that you will need to write some custom JavaScript code to make the switch.

Paypal - allowing customer to enter value on buy now button

My question is this - is there any way to create a paypal button which allows the customer to enter the value of the amount they wish to pay. I do not wish to use a 'donate' button because it is not a donation situation - it is a sale of a product.
Example: I have an ethically produced environmentally friendly product. The base price will be $10.00 (for example), but I would ask and allow people to pay/contribute more if they wanted to in support of the ethical/environmental aspect of the product.
So one customer might want to pay $11 while another might want to pay $13.
Is it possible to allow this to happen with any type of paypal button - excluding the donate button.
Thanks

Yes, this is possible, but what you'd need to do is have a system by which they would enter their price on your website (and obviously you can check it's >=$10) and once they've entered a price, you would create the button code using the price they've specified.
