PayPal said the money will be refunded to my paypal account any day now, just waiting. CIBC told me that the resulting 3 NSF charges are not their responsibility to refund since it was paypals fault, but they refunded 2 "as a goodwill gesture".

Had something similar happen to me a couple months back. I went to the bank told them they were all unauthorized charges, I signed some form they removed the charges and all 5 resulting NSFs. This was at TD.
My password was not simple at all, word with some importance to me, with the letters randomized, a couple random capitals and a number thrown in somewhere in the middle for good measure. Seeing as it hadn't used the paypal in almost a year and the password was unqiue to paypal it really makes one wonder how it was acquired. In general is use the same password for all stupid interet things games/this forum. But all the banking things have their own harder to guess password.
I'd tell CIBC either to remove all 3 of the NSFs or you'll close your account and take your business elsewhere. Is a 40$ junk charge worth them loosing you as a customer?
