Having a major issue with Paypal and what happens with my sessions.

Procedure works like so:

1) User fills in form with information.
2) Information about payment carried over to Paypal.
3) User either logs into Paypal or enters details.
4) Payment complete - user redirected to confirmation page on site.

Problem is, when they enter their details instead of using a Paypal account (to which I have no idea why), the session information that needs to be carried over to the confirmation page seems to have been lost. Apparently it's to do with Paypal's return page but how can I possibly prevent this occuring?

You need to setup a return IPN page in your PayPal account and send a hidden session, order or customer ID.
