I don't know any ZIP Codes except the ones where I live and work so ZIP Codes aren't useful for me. If I want to know whether something being offered for sale or trade is close to me I want to know a (big or medium sized) city name, or a County name.
If seller says "30267" it means little to me, unless I Google it online looking for a ZIP Code map.
If the seller says "Crawford" or "Lexington" then I might recall from memory that these places are somewhere near Athens, and
probably outside of my area of interest.
Ditto if the seller says "Oglethorpe County." I can guess that they're too far from me, but I'd have to consult the internet to be sure.
But if somebody said they're
"20 miles due east of Athens"
then I have a very good idea where they are and I don't need to look anything up online.

I'm going to be honest I do that.
Need to require pics of the actual item (not a stock pic) be posted when the ad is created, not "will post pics later" or "pm for pics"
It used to be mandatory and I think it was deactivated/ not a feature of the system non-upgrade.
It was discovered you can't make people actually understand where in Georgia they live so it was deactivated.
Left, right, up and down were the other options....

Plus people who will not drive past their mail box to make a deal with a perfect stranger are skeered that posting their county/zip code will put them on the BATF. FBI, KGB, Mossad radar screen.
