PayPal Auto Return and PDT Issue

I'm using PayPal Website Payments Standard - IPN and ZenCart 1.5

Through my website I purchase an order and let PayPal auto return me to my website and everything is fine - success.

Now if I make a Paypal payment and decide to choose the redirect to website link option (after the payment) it is sending me to the this link:

https://www.domain.com/index.php?merchant_return_link=click+here&form_charset=UTF-8

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Re: PayPal Auto Return and PDT Issue

Can you give me any more of a reason than that?

Is the module buggy? Have you seen this problem before?

I never even considered the express option before. I take it that it does everything the IPN version does then?

I'm currently using PayPal as my only payment method, but I do intend to add more down the line. I also want the general shop layout, rather than an express button.

Thanks

Re: PayPal Auto Return and PDT Issue

You REALLY SHOULD USE EXPRESS CHECKOUT!!!
But, if you insist on using the older technology of Website Payments Standard, follow these instructions:

My eyes have been opened. I thought it was just a simple button approach before.
