Nearby Pin: Local Discovery Without Exact Address Exposure
Nearby Pin helps buyers understand general location while sellers keep exact pickup details private until they choose to share them.

Why location context matters
Local buyers care about distance. A great deal across town may not be practical, while a nearby listing can move quickly.
Nearby Pin gives useful proximity context without turning the seller’s exact address into public listing data.
What sellers should share publicly
Sellers should share enough location context for buyers to decide whether the item is practical to pick up. A neighborhood, ZIP area, or nearby pin is usually enough before commitment.
Exact pickup details should be saved for active buyers the seller chooses to work with.
How Nearby Pin supports confidence
A buyer can quickly understand whether a listing fits their route, while the seller keeps privacy control. This reduces unnecessary messages and helps serious buyers move faster.
Use location with Deal Clock
Location context works best when paired with clear timing. If a buyer knows the item is nearby and understands the next response window, the deal has a better chance of closing.
