    You are looking for PayPal’s Instant Payment Notification.

    Instant Payment Notification consists of three parts:

    1. Someone pays you.
    2. PayPal POSTs FORM variables to a URL you specify
      that runs a program to process the variables.
    3. You validate the
      notification.

    The above is quoted from PayPal’s HTML Form Basics for Website Payments Standard. Obviously, step 3 is where you will send an email to your customer.
