    Well it would take time for a bank funds to be uploaded to paypal so if your saw anything suspicious you could report it to paypal and maybe contact your bank to cancel transaction.

    PayPal doesnt do a business for 1000$ or 10,000$. They are are big company and they dont scam around and cheat their customers. PayPal is not going to take any money from your bank account and the hacker also cant withdraw any money from your bank account.
    So dont fear lol..

    If you are not from US, Canada, Australia or Germany, you cannot load money from your bank account to your Paypal account at all. There is certainly no way it can be done. The bank account is only for withdrawal of funds from Paypal. So it is perfectly safe.

    On the other hand, make sure that you do not give out your password to anyone knowingly or unknowingly. Make sure your password is difficult to remember, scan your computer constantly for spyware, trojans, viruses and particularly for keyloggers. Ensure that you do not download or install any illegal programs on your computers and do not click on file attachments on your computer which you did not request for.

    Make sure also not to fall into the numerous Paypal phishing emails which comes to your mail box. Never click on any links in the email which supposedly from paypal. All Paypal emails would address your full name as in your account and only mail to your primarily email account. Log in directly to paypal website to verify if what is said is true.

    If you take the necessary precaution, you should not fear about being hacked. Paypal system in itself is quite secured, it is the user which may not be.

    Well, it takes time for the funds to shift from your Bank account to your PayPal account. So, if you find something odd at PayPal, you can be able to take action immediately. However, No hacker can hack a PayPal account.
