Why are there so many listings without a location? Do I need a location to sell? Why not if so wouldn't it make it easier for the buyer?

Why no Location needed?

View Entire Topic

Yes a location is needed - although it may be a bit fanciful when a seller is either very private or rather whimsical.

I've seen "USA" used, which in not particularly helpful. And I once upon a time used "Canada's Capital" as my location.

The location should spell out both the location of the seller (Ottawa CANADA for example) and because some sellers are dropshipping should also make clear the location of the product (China or Vancouver BC )

A seller who is selling internationally, which is almost every Canadian, should also add the eBay supplied boilerplate about duty and taxes being the responsibility of the buyer.
