    At the very least, login to your accounts before then to avoid the charge

    Customer registered in Ireland do not have to pay this fee.

    It's very clearly called out in the Policy update:
    NOTE: This provisions does not apply to PayPal users registered in Ireland and to personal accounts registered in Hungary.

    https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/upcoming-policies-full

    And if that does not satisfy you:
    The inactivity fee applies to users registered in United Kingdom, Bulgaria,
    Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary
    (Corporate Customers only) Isle of Man, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein,
    Lithuania, Malta, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia.

    As per A3.13 of the new terms applicable from 16 December:

    That is the danger of using UK based news without checking the actual T&C.
