First, you clicked on the link.

Second, you logged into your account

Third, you added your bank account

Fourth, you accepted and transferred the money.

I don't know what to think about that...

When i made my bank account, the lady told me to be careful because there are alot of scams dealing with online banking/Paypal and such

Call Paypal

 

[air zoom bender]

Put it into board game terms as an analogy.

- You passed Go and collected $200. (although you didn't realize you were scooting around the Monopoly board)

- Don't land on take a "Chance card" and get Go directly to Jail. (Taking that money is taking a Chance)

- Or get robbed by the 2 hotels on like Boardwalk when you land on them in a couple steps (a week or two, find a zero balance and get some overdrafts).

OP, update about that service rep. call. Way too vague on saying the guy on the phone "fixed it for you." Like someone above mentioned a page back,never heard of that "claim money now before we take it out or you lose it completely" with Paypal. You log in after a eBay deal, they give you a dateas to when that money is available to withdraw - it holds just enough to finalize the auction/buyer transfer funds to seller.

CALL PAYPAL AT ONCE.

1) If you look at the pics I included, and read what I wrote, there were no links in the e-mail I had recieved. I typed in www.paypal.com manually in mybrowser.

2) To cash out the money you recieve from eBay transactions, you need a Premier account, which I updated to at that moment. In no more then 2 minutes, I hadaccepted the transaction, upgraded my account to Premier, and tried to withdraw to money immediatly. This ''froze'' my account, so I had to gothrew some steps to verify my identity, and they were asking for some credit card info. I refused to fill that out, so I called paypal to see what was up, toldthe guy I didn't own a credit card (I had never given c/c info to paypal), so he unfroze it for me. He saw that 200.00$ I was trying to cash out, sothere's no possible way I was entereing info into a phishing site.

3) [email protected] is not a phishing adresse. As I was changing my password and #!$!, I recieved e-mails from paypal informing me my password hadjust been changed, and they were all from that same e-mail.

Oh well then you wrong as *#@% for taking that money knowing it wasn't yours.

And best believe the sender will realize the error of their ways before the money hits the bank. Which means you won't be able to close the account.

Why would I want to close my account if the money doesn't make it to the bank?

 

[eye see soles]

^No.

If the sender files a claim before the money makes it to your bank, you won't be able to close your account.

If it makes it there without a claim, you can close it immediately after, and you're home free. (You can't close it while funds are pending.)

The bad thing is that the money probably won't be there until Tuesday.
