Hello,

When a customer buys something from you, yourself and your customer will receive a receipt by e-mail from PayPal.

Yes. You need the following:

a script that will
1. make all necessary calculations (if needed, if it is a single product, there is no such need)
2. Will hold the client's details as well as his order details
3. Will, when payPal redirects him back to your site, check (thanks to PayPal's Payment Data Transfer) that he has actually paid (the ayment is not pending), the amount, item and quantity are those of the order, and if so, it will issue the receipt (as printer friendly page) and will also display a link in the page, for the download, if this is a downloadable product.
If not , it will refuse to issue the receipt, and it will display a "We have not been able to automatically verify your payment. Ypur Order will be processed manually" . Then, it will send you an email to let you know that there is something wrong and tell you to investigate by looking your PayPal account.

You have mail.
