wow, that's LAME. It's been a useful place to unload some old equipment for me in the past, but I have noticed the new rules put into place recently, and thought they were kind of dumb.
>people had to include their city, state, and zip code. This is mostly redundant and as a zip code can cover both city and state.
Exactly. I've listed my zip with all items for sale all the time. I can see how that could be an important bit of info for people to figure shipping, but that doesn't really tell me anything about the trustworthiness of the buyer or seller. You know what, my zip code is 22801. Good luck finding me even in a small city of 50,000.
