according to the Paypal Buy Now Buttons manual regarding the 'rm' hidden parameter :
If set to “2” and if return is set, the buyer will be sent back to the return URL using a POST method, to which all available transaction variables will also be posted.

I have 'return' set to a valid url, i've set 'rm' to 2 and I've switched on auto-return in my account, but the return url doesn't receive any POST variables..

does anyone have any suggestions?

Im not certain, but it may be that the return url has to be the same as your ipn url.

The "rm" flag only applies to the Continue button, not Auto-Return. If you want the payment details PSOTed to your "return" URL, you'll need to use the regular Continue button.

We advise using IPN for any post-payment processing.
