Person paying (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

customer

(Other definitions for customer that I've seen before include "Buyer of goods or services" , "Regular" , "Rail passenger, nowadays" , "Someone who pays for goods or services" , "Person paying for item or service" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
