    below is the code for a paypal button i've seen on a site.

    
    <strong>PRICE: $300</strong>
    <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" />
    <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" />
    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="myemail@goeshere.com" />
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Test Product" />
    <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="NA" />
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="300.00" />
    <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
    <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF" />
    </form>
    
    Code (markup):
    aside from the concern about spammers being able to grab the e-mail address, should I be concerned about any other potential security issues???

    Paypal is easy to be cheated, the bottom line is you can refund if the product is not satisfactory. Other than that, nothing can be guaranteed. Anti-fraud is not a trivial problem anyway.
