There used to be a widget map showing a history of buyer locations...

Years ago... maybe even pre-2000 era eBay 😕

 

I do a fairly high percentage of international sales and I was just muttering to myself recently about how I wished I had that world map at the bottom of my listings showing every state/country that I've shipped to in the last 24+ years. 

 

The 3rd party app/widget used to be (I think) an additional monthly fee, so I didn't use it in those days, and now I don't think I've seen it in many years.  I take it that it's long gone as an option?  Or was this on Auctiva, or some other external app?

The people running the map service your thinking of ended it a couple of years back. I used to like having it but seems they went out of business.

When eBay banned Active Content in 2017, most of the add-on widgets went away. They relied on linking out to their websites to monetize their services, and when eBay banned the links, that killed the monetization. Additionally, banning the links and scripts also made it impossible for many of the features to even perform.

paypal still does monthly reports that let you know where your buyers are from and how they pay.
