Title: location
Post by: mightieskeeper on March 15, 2012, 11:28:52 PM

Just something I noticed lately.  Members are putting the zip code in location box but do not put their city.  Thinking it would be easier for wanted adds if members had both.  What do you think Blair, Tony and soon to be Jeff "Hero".  Anyone else have thoughts on this?

It should be up to each individual how much info they wish to share in their profile, but if they are already sharing the zip why not the city as well?

If you plug the zipcode into a Google Maps search it's sometimes more specific than listing a city.

It can be a pain sometimes.  I don't always have time to look a zip up.

It takes mere seconds to "double-click", CTRL+C, "click", CTRL-V, and hit Enter.  :P

I agree. As a seller you want to make it as easy as possible for buyers to know what your product is, how much it costs and where they can pick it up. Just common business sense. A little "extra work" required on the part of a buyer can result in the loss of a sale.

No because I always put where the item I'm selling is located
