The US get 50 free listings per month with no charge for BIN option, yet we get only 30 plus 10c for BIN.
Free insertion fees Insertion fees are free for your first 50 auction-style listings per calendar month. Buy It Now is also free when added to these 50 free listings.
How annoying!

There is then no FVF avoidance by selling a $250 item for $1 with $249 postage as fees are charged on postage as well.

Thanks for those stats. ๐
I listed one item on eBay.com last year and it sold but the payment went into my old PP account, which I don't have the password for as it's years old. So, to this day, I have never gotten the money. I haven't listed there since. I think they may use your registration email as the automatic PP email to send funds, instead of having a separate PP email that you can use. Not sure on that.

Can't you just call PayPal and explain that situation so you can get access to your old account?

yes, be very very careful what you wish for!
also, on ebay usa you cannot ask for payment by bank deposit,
