Paypal account completely cleared out!

Don't know if I've posted this under the right category..... but today my PayPal account showed a huge transaction which I didn't approve, and has taken all but 7 quid out of my account!
I have registered it as fraudulent/unrecognised, but am wondering... how long is this going to take to sort out?? I registered it earlier today and still haven't heard anything back. Can anyone help with this please? Thank you.

    They're actually quite efficient at refunding fraudulent transactions, it's usually not a problem unless they think you have divulged your password
