If the location settings feature being tested is rolled out, would improve convenience for buyers and sellers on the platform. The marketplace is used in an estimated 70 countries by around 800 million people. It has assisted users in displaying & selling new or refurbished items.
Businesses have also shown a lot of inventory for retail items, property rentals, and vehicles by working with a Marketplace listing partner. The features might help smoothen out the process further.
