I was thinking that it would be great if buyers could filter the listings to show only offerings from members located in a certain country. A feature like that would be much appreciated for those of us that don't want to deal with the additional import hassles (phytosanitary certificates, customs charges, delays, etc.) of purchasing plant material (or perhaps other items) from another country.

If a filtering option such as this would work, it might be of interest to sellers to be able to clearly indicate where they're willing to ship to as well and buyers could then perhaps choose to only view listings that apply to them.

If that might take more work than it's worth to set up, then even a smaller step such as adding a column to the listings that would list the country of the seller would be helpful for people like me so we could quickly visually filter the list without having to click on every listing.

These are just my thoughts as a Canadian that's not interested in purchasing plant material from the US but would be delighted to buy and sell my extra plants/bulbs on the marketplace with other Canadians.

Would anyone else appreciate this sort of feature?

And then I just thought of something else... currencies. For now, I assume all listings are in USD...

YES, I won't hassle with shipping live plants out of the country, Phytos are very expensive here, but I can ship seeds so having an option so buyers in other countries know what they can buy from me would be a big help!
