I only use PayPal’s Express Checkout. I have IPN enabled and working properly. When folks pay via Express Checkout, they automatically get redirected back to my site without a problem. Everything, including EOT’s appear to work without a problem. When going through my settings I noticed I didn’t have a “PDT identity token” specified within s2member settings, nor did I have PDT or an auto-return URL enabled within my paypal.com “Website Payment Preferences” settings. So, for my setup, should I still implement PDT, or is not applicable for my use? Thanks.

PayPal uses this token to let s2Member know the information it’s receiving when the Customer is brought back to your site can be trusted. Without this you can run into errors with Users not getting upgraded, etc..
