I've created a Buy Now button using the paypal service, aka I've copied the code created and pasted it on my site. The particular location I'm posting the button is within a table, with its own row and data cell. For whatever reason the button takes up twice the size of the image.
Example
Previous Info I typed
Buy Now Button
---------------------(stupid white space)
Additional Info.
I'm looking to try to get rid of the extra space that seems to come attached to the button. Any ideas or directions for solving this would be greatly appreciated.

One trick you can try is to use a text or hyperlink instead of an HTML Form.
You can build your own Button Text Links from scratch or take advantage of the Online Button Creator within your PayPal Account. After generating the button code online, select the "Email" tab to view the Text Link Code. Note, the "Email" tab will not be available if have included dropdown selections or text boxes in your item button code. This is because you cannot include dropdown selections or text boxes in a Text or Hyperlink.

Assuming that the begining table is in enclosed. Hope this helps. I realize the padding is at 4, yet I don't run into any issues when a regular img is put in.

Unfortunately posting code does not help as we need to see your web page with code. Having said that, you can try deleting this line:
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
It's only for PayPal's internal tracking use and has no affect on the function of your item button code however, it does add a blank line to the form.
