I contacted paypal right away but the only way things could be resolved right away was to put a stop payment on the charge. That cost over $30 plus the over draft fee it caused and paypal did not cover any of it.

I was advised to change my pass word, which I did and I do now every yr or so.
A few years back I had a similar incident. Someone had purchased a $1,500.00 camera and paid with my PayPal account. I was contacted by the store where the camera was purchased and asked if I had ordered a camera through their online site and was having it shipped to New Hampshire. Well, obviously not so I contacted PayPal and they guided me through the process and I changed my password. Other than that one incident I never had another problem and have used PayPal many times since then.
