I would like to see which stores are close to me where I could maybe pick up
bigger pieces.
Maybe a map in the search store window

Yeah, it's suggested from time to time. I like the idea as an option for
sellers, and not a default setting.

I don't know about the reasoning though. Other, arguably more guarded sites,
have the option to view vendors by distance from user. Without checking, I believe
eBay still does?

You could always message the seller and ask them what city they are located in.

I've had my share of those potential buyers over the years. Sometimes after
a purchase or two and they know how closely located we are, I'll get the
in person request.
