PayPal checkout (from Woocommerce) requires a UK county name. The UK Royal Mail no longer requires a county as part of a valid address. There is no such thing as 'county of London'. Please update PayPal.

I just bought a book using PayPal, and they added "Durham County" between the word London and my postcode! I hope this doesn't mean my order will be sent there because it's nowhere near Ealing where I live.
