What is this new inactivity fee all about? I'm a buyer not a seller, does it effect me?

I see a policy change involving "inactivity fees".  Are these for sellers?  I do not sell using paypal, I just buy items.  Will this effect me?

Nope, its only for users that have not used their paypal account for ages AND have a balance of funds in the account.

No balance in the account means you don't have to pay anything.

Thanks for the answer.  I received an email about this change.  I had some problems logging on and phoned Paypal.  

After being in line for awhile, the agent told me I received a spoof email and that Paypal would not charge for dormant accounts.

I just received a $5 offer from Paypal.  Does thisa mean they will charge me $20? I think the agent I spoke to got it wrong.
