1:44pm: I received a You Got Funds email with a name, gmail address and a bunch of Asian characters for $88. The Asian characters gave it away. I quickly signed in (through a separate window, not the email notice) to figure out who or where this was coming from and saw that my account was set to Limited, which means PayPal's automated security system had already gone into effect.

1:53pm: I was already in the process of changing the password and security questions when I got an $81.18 payment sent to Microsoft notification.

2:17pm: I receive confirmation of my claim regarding the transaction, and I had put in the comments about the received funds transaction, as the claims system wasn't accepting that initial transaction ID as a valid ID - surprised not I am.

2:31pm: Received another automated email from service@paypal saying the payment received has been reversed due to a potential problem. Heh - ya think?

2:49pm: Now awaiting the however many days it takes for PayPal to reverse the payment sent transaction and clear the negative 81.18 balance off of my account.

I'll give PayPal credit for it's quick response, but I really hate the inconvenience of it all. I won't be using PayPal for anything until this is all cleared.
