concrete5 "Error: Form elements must not have name or id of "submit"."

I am trying to paste a paypal button form (generated through Paypal) into a text block and when I try to save, I get this error message:
"Error: Form elements must not have name or id of "submit"."

I have done this many times using Wordpress without a problem, but I am stuck on this one with Concrete5. I need this to work and now I have spent 1/2 a day trying to get it to work. Any help?

Here is the paypal button code:

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="W6BU2NUN5SDRG">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

Did you try the 'HTML' block?

Found this thread as we were having the same issue adding a PayPal button to a page in a v8 site.

Steevb is correct, adding the PayPal form via an HTML block solves the problem.
