Location can impact the buyer's opinion and purchase decision and provide extra visibility for your products at no additional cost to you.

By default, the city, state, and postal code (ZIP) entered on your Quick Shopping Cart storefront information page is presented as your location in the eBay Auction Manager. However, you can update this information if you have products available in different locations.

Defining a location allows buyers to find items available in their vicinity. By assigning a location to your items, your products can be displayed to buyers who search, sort, or filter by distance from their location.

NOTE: Location does not relate to, nor is it used to determine, shipping charges, taxes, or any other attribute.
