Maybe a few of us could send you a couple of dollars to cover it.  

I came home from Sunday school once with a chunk out of my hair but it was the work of some naughty little boy. 

When you get the e-mail, DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINK.  Just HOVER your cursor over it and dollars to donuts it will display an IP address of just all numbers (example http://10.4.567.10)--not the familiar www.paypal.com address.  This means it's bogus and you can just delete it. 

Yep, dirty bastids they is. 

Well, thank you.  I still have a nervous feeling in my stomach from all of this mess. 

The last time I bought something off ebay was about three years ago, and I had a different checking account and credit card.  99% of my mail goes into the spam folder, and I just automatically delete all the mail in that folder without reading it.  I would never click on a link to anything I wasn't sure about in an e-mail.  I have noticed though that lately there have been tons of e-mails from people claiming to be from postcard.com type addresses.  There are many of them, all stating you have a card from a classmate, a friend, a relative, or somebody who is thinking of you today, LOL.  I bet they are! 

Just by doing a Google search today while trying to find Ebay's phone number, there are lots of web sites that lead to people who have had similar experiences.  I have no clue what happened, I'm just glad the money is back in the account and I can make my house payment in a few days.  Whew!

I know this has happened to somebody here before, I remember reading it.  This morning I woke up and checked my checking account to see what little I had left before pay day this Friday.  What I found was that somebody had taken $2420.00 from a PayPal eCheck, and now I am way in the negative.  The bank says it takes three to five, possibly up to ten days to dispute and make the account right.  That's just great. I have a direct deposit going in on Friday, and won't even be able to use that until who knows when. 

What can be done, if anything, on my part?  Is there someway to make PayPal responsible for making the dispute happen faster?  I have no clue what to do and have absolutely no money until this dispute is over.  It did take the whole ten days about six months ago when I got double charged for something, so I already know it won't happen before pay day.  Maybe with this large sum of money they will expedite.  I can hope! 

Okay, back to work for me.  Thanks.

Phone/internet with Verizon - $51 total/month

Dish Network I think is around $60/month

We have insurance.  Have you asked your primary care doctor if there is a clinic or something like that to take care of your husband's dental care?  It's worth a shot.  I had heard something about dentists in training offering cleaning and such for a much cheaper rate.  I think the obstacle would be if they found a cavity or whatever.  Good luck to you!  By the way, we are on the East Coast, so not sure if prices vary by region or not.
