I posted different down payment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deposit

'down payment' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'i posted different' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram (letters placed in a different order).
'i'+'posted'='iposted'
'iposted' is an anagram of 'DEPOSIT'.

(Other definitions for deposit that I've seen before include "Lay down" , "Money in bank - part payment" , "is one back on the bottle?" , "Plant" , "Returnable sum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
