Paypal have my money! anyone have experience?

[STARRYSKY]

Thanks everyone,
most of the feedback I've been getting seems positive, I wll get my money back...eventually..

Went to the bank and spoke to someone there, they said all they can do is file an
"unauthorised transaction" against paypal, but was told I would more than likely get my $$ back before I heard back from the bank.
so annoying!!

How does that even happen though? Paypal is supposed to be the safest way??

I have no idea Willow! I was so not happy!
I have had a paypal account for years or so now, first time it has ever happened to me... although now I'm hearing of so many people who it has happened to.

I had my money back in my paypal account (paypal balance of $33) straight away. Yesterday I checked and it has all been returned (the $166.00 that came out of my Bank account) so I have transferred it all back to my back account, gah..another 3 days!!
