Call your bank and order a stop payment, they'll get you back your money.

This is why you always go ONLY to their main page then login and go from there. Never trust ANY email that says login. NEVER

What bank do you use? My bank got me back a paypal payment that was 2 months old that paypal didn't want to do anything about. There ought to be some kind of protection your bank has against fraud.

Did ya make your password all crazy hard or was it easy? And was your e-mail pass the same as your paypal pass?

Paypal is way harder to hack than something like hotmail... you gotta use different passwords for those if you didn't.
