Something strange going on

I've just recieved a letter from Santander saying I owe them £156 so I log on to internet banking to find £138 of charges from being over-drawn. The thing that made me over drawn is 2 direct debits to paypal, one is around £10 and the other £8 both on the same day in august 2010.

I know I probably should have checked my account sooner but I the last time I used it was in May this year and I only opened it for the cashback.

Why would I be giving two payments to paypal? I've been through my paypal history and nothing like this has shown up. I thought maybe it could be selling fees for ebay but the only time I have ever sold something was AUG 2009 so that must have been paid ages ago and it wouldn't have cost £18 if the item was only £85?

This is an example of what it says:
DIRECT DEBIT PAYMENT TO PAYPAL PAYMENT REF ######## MANDATE NO ###

I don't know what that ref number is for

The first thing to do is check your paypal account, see if you have been hacked.

Nope I've been using it regularly recently and I've checked all transactions down to July 1st 2010 and nothing fishy has been going on.

When I first logged into my online bank account it did come up with an extra security question and said the account wasn't linked with this computer but that could be because I also use my dads laptop and when I went to log back in about 20 minutes later it said it again so i don't know if I trust that.
