Apologies if this is covered somewhere, I did a search, but I can't find anything..
I'm wondering if it's possible to search by category/tag AND location. Specifically I'm looking for zines in the UK.
Thanks for your help!

Not that I'm aware of. Would be a nice eventual feature, though.

So etsy took off the shopping by location that was on the home page? I liked that feature. I hope they bring it back.

Hey there!

You can try using the geolocator tag search. I just did a quick zine tag search on the geolocater, and yo can just click on the UK to find ones that are listed:

www.etsy.com/geolocator.php#/tags/zine/1/

If you don't find what you need, try typing in different tags.

Good luck,
Mary

P.S. The shop local feature is still on the site, just under the list of ways to shop on the left side of the homepage.

Thanks! I had tried that, and I then click the next page to get a few more, yes?
If there WAS a way of narrowing down the location, at least to the "Ships from" country, that would be a BRILLIANT addition.
In the meantime at least I'm using the right feature, thanks for your help all!

if the sellers add their location as a tag, you could do that. It is probably a good idea and I'll start adding it from now on.

www.bestysearch.com

has a shop country location search - enter the country in the drop down menu, then enter any search terms you want. It filters according to the "ships from" information.
