The PayPal options are not meant to be used to select the amount. The amount is either fixed or user definable.
Options are to specify the size, color etc for an item (and will not affect the price).
However in the Form Wizard you will find an example how to setup a PayPal donation form with a selectable amount.

This is from the help:
Options
You can attach 6 optional form controls so the buyer can select (for example) the size or color of a product. An option field can be either a ComboBox or an EditBox.
You can use the Label property to assign a label to the option. If you leave this field empty then the object's ID will be used.
Step 1
Insert a ComboBox or EditBox to the page.
Step 2
Select the ID of the object in the dropdown list above
Notes:
The selected options fields should not be part of another form. WYSIWYG Web Builder will make sure they are attached to the PayPal button and rename the objects if necessary.
Where does it stop working for you?

I am baffled why the original combobox set up via the PayPal donation button properties, does not appear on the published page.
Without seeing what you did it will be difficult to say anything useful about this.
Please in all posts include the URL of the page so we can see what you have done.

Is the form on a master page/frame? I don't think that is going to work. Forms cannot be used on master pages/frames.

Can you please do one step at a time otherwise it will be very difficult to give you any useful advise.
1) Create a new page (not a master page)
2) Add the PayPal button
3) Add a combobox
4) Open the options of the PayPal button and assign the combobox.
5) Publish the page.
Also note that the URLs in the buttons must be absolute URLs to your website. They cannot be links to your local computer.

All restrictions are documented in the help.
Mainly forms (including PayPal forms) and layers should not be used in master page. This is because they use callbacks to the page and since a master page can be used by multiple pages this may cause conflicts.
