Well, I guess the next question is, is this even possible?

I set up s2 on a website and followed all the instructions for setting up paypal. now i have a different site and all the data in paypal of course matches my first site.

i have no idea on how to make this work correctly for the second site. anybody have "second site s2member and paypal setup for beyond dummies"?
Are you running PayPal Buttons, or s2Member Pro Forms with PayPal Pro? If you're running PayPal Standard Buttons, there is nothing you need to do, other than just telling s2Member what your PDT Identity Token is. The IPN URL and PDT Return-URL are set dynamically by s2Member for each PayPal Button, and this works fine, even if you have other sites that operate from the same PayPal account.

You just need to make sure you complete these steps.

1. You MUST enable PayPal's IPN service inside your PayPal account.
With PayPal Standard Buttons, it doesn't really matter what the default IPN URL is inside your PayPal account, you just need to have IPN service enabled in your PayPal Profile. s2Member will set the correct IPN URL dynamically, for each PayPal Button, overriding whatever default value you have in your PayPal account. For further instructions, please check your Dashboard, under:
s2Member -> PayPal Options -> IPN Integration.

2. Enable Auto-Return and Payment Data Transfer (PDT) in your PayPal account, following the instructions provided in your Dashboard here: s2Member -> PayPal Options -> PDT Integration. Again, it doesn't matter what the default Auto-Return URL is inside your PayPal account, you just need to make sure Auto-Return and PDT are enabled in your PayPal account. s2Member will set the correct PDT Auto-Return URL for each PayPal Button, overriding whatever default value exists in your PayPal account.

Excellent! Thanks Jason.

Oddly enough, that was really simple. The instructions to get it to work are much more confusing then the actual solution. That's probably just me.
