If you want to change the item location on a listing, here's a Guide to how to do it:

When you list as Local Collection only, it may attract more buyers if you specify the Zipcode where the item is located. This is because your item will appear both in a normal search and in a search by distance from the buyers location (ie the buyer is searching for a Local Collection item within xx miles of their location). This will be especially true if it's an item not suitable for posting - ie very fragile, large, or heavy.

Alternatively, for items that are posted, you might not want your postcode specified. You can insert a custom location if you wish - such as your State.

Sometimes the SYI form remembers an old address - for reasons unknown. If it does, you can manually change it. The SYI form should remember the last address you used.


Quick Sell SYI Form

You cannot change the Item Location with the Easy Sell SYI form. The option does not exist.

However, if you've saved the item as a draft, or completed the form without saving it, you can switch to the Advanced Sell SYI form, retaining the information you have input on the Easy Sell SYI.

Press the blue 'Sell Your Item form' hyperlink at the bottom of the listing:




Advanced Sell SYI Form

At the bottom the the 'Give buyers Shipping details' section, in the 'Item Location' field click the 'Change Location' blue hyperlink.


It will bring up a box similar to this:



If you want the listing to show the item location based on your postcode, simply type in the zipcode and press apply. The City, County will be automatically filled in when you press 'Save':



If you don't want your town displayed, just your county, delete the zipcode and enter your custom location in the City, County Field and press 'Save':


Complete the rest of the SYI form as usual.


Turbo Lister 2

Basically the same procedure as the SYI form.

Change the Item Location details by pressing the 'Shipping Options' button in the  'Shipping Options' field:


Then click the 'Locations' tab



And complete either the zipcode, or a custom location after selecting the relevant field, before hitting the 'OK' button below:


Complete the rest of the form and then hit 'Save'.
