Please see this page for our previous coverage.
A seller’s location in Geo3 now reflects only the info displayed in the seller’s public profile. If anyone finds this is not true generally, please comment below or on the new post about this issue. Yay!

Thanks everyone for your great feedback. :)The ‘location’ field of the Geo3 should be showing what you type in the ‘City’ field of your Public Profile. Sorry about the Scotland error, although wouldn’t it be nice if we are all there, sharing Etsy stories in some pub by the sea?

I see that EtsyTools now has a way of searching for sellers by location, based on what is put in the profile. An opt-in/out feature is apparently coming soon.
I liked the way we used to be able to find sellers in a general area by clicking on the world map on the Geolocator. You didn’t have to know a city name to find items within a certain area.
