thankyou! this is what i thought, and after a bit of reading confirmed. but wasn't 100% sure, but i intend on going into the bank tomorrow to get it back. why why why would the bank tell me its nothing to do with them? [/rhetoric] thank-ye kindly! x

heyhey, on october 2nd i checked my bank balance and noticed a direct debit had gone out for £510, and considering my biggest DD is about £30 i thought i should call the bank. They told me it was from paypal, and that i had to get in touch with their fraud division. So i called them, and explained that i had not tried to buy anything and that my account must have been hacked. They told me they had frozen the transaction and would get the money back from me. So far i've changed all the security stuff on my account as per their instructions, but looking at the dispute in my paypal account all they've done so far is send an email to the ''seller''. What i really want to know is how long should i expect to be waiting before i get my money back, and is there anything that i can do to speed things up? Thanks in advance, Dan
