How I Beat The UGLY PayPal Button Demon To a Bloody PULP 
by Rose Mis
I really do like it when "projects" that I am working on for clients turn out well and the final product looks totally yummy 
After all, I really want my clients to LOVE my work and keep on hiring me right … ??? So I MUST deliver an excellent product every single time …
The other day I was setting up a sales page in WordPress for a gal who is selling an e-Book that I edited for her. And I am trying to get the danged Paypal "Buy Now" Button to look just like it does on PayPal's site … nice … neat … proportional … professional … you get my drift ! And the button wouldn't cooperate.
It S P R A W L E D all over the whole page … just like the one at the top … YUCKKKKKK !!
No way Jose was I going to let that UGLY button live on the same page as that beautiful e-Book!!
I was bound and DETERMINED to figure out how to make that button worthy of that page. (Can you tell that I am challenge driven? …. )
I put it in a table to "contain and compress" the html … better but not great …
I fiddled with the html code and blew the button up!! I was getting REALLY annoyed by the whole thing … and my client needed the page DONE in an hour and a half … and I did NOT have a viable solution …
I took a deep breath and made some iced tea .. trying to relax enough to get a Divine download …
10 minutes passed … nothing … 15 minutes passed … nothing …
I was getting ready to pick up the phone and tell her I couldn't give her what she needed to launch her e-Book promotion …
And then IT came to me … a possible solution that was so danged simple and easy … I was shocked …
If it worked it would be a PERFECT hack …oh I have absolutely no doubt in the world that there is a way to do this perfectly with the PayPal Code … however … time was not on my side this morning … I needed the solution NOW !! And since my usual resources had been complaing of the EXACT same problem … I needed to get creative on my own and find a simple, non-techie solution NOW !!
Now the only thing left to do was to make sure it really worked the way I thought it would …
So here is what I did
I logged into her PayPal Account (yes , my clients trust me THAT much)
And Created A New Buy Now Button
Step 1 – Log Into Your Paypal Account and Create a New Buy Now button
Step 2 – Fill In All Of The Details
Step 3 – Click on Step 2 In Your PayPal Account
Step 4 – Go To Step 3 In Your PayPal Account and Fill Out The Requested Information
Step 5 – Click on Create Button
Step 6 – Copy That Code – Isn't That Button On The Paypal Site Just Beautiful?
You Want One Just Like It Right … ??? ME TOO!!
The only code you need is the <X82DEF74PNA9J> forget all of the other html stuff
That's The Button That I Wanted For My Client – Beautiful Isn't it???
So Here Is What I Did To Give It To Her ….
I uploaded that photo to her media files (you can use it if you like it
