Basically, I want so that when someone purchases a serial code from my website for a product using PayPal, once the payment is received, it sends an email with a UNIQUE serial code (from a database?) to the email on the buyer's PayPal account. Anyone know of good software or way to set this up?

Consider PayPal IPN (Instant Payment Notification), which sends a message to the listener on your server when a transaction is done. Then you can decide according to the IPN message if your system should send out a serial. (You will have to develop the listener and designate the URL of this listener when you initiate the PayPal transaction.)

IPN does more than that but the above URL could be the starting point.
However if you are asking which software generates the serial, that's out of my knowledge.
