I believe AJ just gets an email with the username that donated and he still has to manually change the account's status to Donator.

I probably wouldn't automate something like this, it really depends on what it is.
When you make a button, you can set the success url while making it.

There are lots of classes out there taking care of the PayPal IPN. If possible, I'd recommend writing your own, since it's fairly easy. PayPal will notify a page on your server (with GET or POST variables). From there on, all you have to do is select the donation information out of a database table, compare it to the PayPal information and then give them the items where they donated for.

This is what I did for a simple donation system, there are loads of IPN classes out there (pre-made), you can utilize those if you want and work from there (that's if you are comfortable with PHP), then to test your system out, simply register a PayPal Sandbox account which is basically a "Fake PayPal Account" for you to test the Instant Payment Notification system. PayPal will basically call the Notify URL upon success/failure of the payment.
