Probably. Most banks do not check spelling carefully. As an experiment, someone working for a television show once printed a batch of obviously bogus checks that, instead of having a name everywhere it belonged, actually said on them (where a name belonged) that they were counterfeit, and had no problem cashing them at most banks. Only one bank did stop the person, and that was only because an employee recognized the person from a previous television broadcast, not because the check had a message saying it was bogus where it should have had a name.
I’ve always been able to cash checks at my bank even if it didn’t match my driver’s license. Most people write my nickname on my checks and my bank has always cashed them. Chances are you won’t have any problems cashing the check as long as the first name still matches.
They would not be allowed to accept it.
BUT you should definitely try to slip it past them. They may not notice.
If that doesn’t work, just write in (even if it’s typed) the last letter and try it again. If you do it nice enough, again, they may not notice.
I have had people write out checks to me where they just put my first name because they didn’t know how to spell my last name. I just filled it out and it was fine. It’s not like you are trying to commit fraud or something.
Worse case scenario is you will have to send it back to paypal for a correction. And also update your records because it is probably in the computer wrong.
