Which form?

PayPal: what to enter

Being tested

We haven't tested PayPal's postcode field yet, and PayPal doesn't publish its rules for Nigerian addresses on any page we could open. So we won't guess. Until we've tested it, use this rule:

  1. If the field asks for a "postal code", "postcode" or "ZIP code" and doesn't mention NIPOST's digital postcode, enter your 6-digit code.
  2. If it only accepts numbers, or fewer than 11 characters, the new code can't fit: use the 6-digit code.
  3. Use the new 11-character code only when the form asks for it by name.
