    Hi

    I did a very similar thing many years ago.....amazing how you can gamble with money you dont have.

    I opened a new basic bank account to have my salary paid into , I had a couple of letters from paypal regarding this but i havent heard from them about it in years.

    I am not in anyway condoning what you have done, but try not to worry and dont do it again.

    I must stress it was about 7 years ago when I did it, things may have changed !!
