Hi I received a message from a buyer today stating that there is a bug in Ebay and/or Paypal systems that causes the last letter of her postcode to change when she purchases something and because it is the wrong postcode then RM will not deliver?

Every Xmas we get an almost completely wrongly addressed Xmas card from my DWs uncle via Royal Mail. And we do ask, every year, for them to update their address book...lol

Wrong last name (B substituted for D at start)
Street address correct
Incorrect post code, only first 3 correct - others just wrong

The irish postal service will take some beating in delivering mail though http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-43328227
