payment_status=Refunded

See page 48 here: https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/ipnguide.pdf

if($_POST["payment_status"] == "Refunded"){
    //it's a refund
}

Note there are other payment statuses too, like Completed (for a sale) and Reversed (for when the buyer makes a complaint).
