Where Jinu is available

Jinu is a United States marketplace. It covers the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the US territories: Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Setting a location on a listing

The location field in the post composer is free text with a typeahead. Start typing your town and pick a suggestion, or type your own if the exact place is not offered. Nothing is rejected for being a small town, and there is no fixed list you have to choose from.

Two things are worth knowing about what happens after you type it:

• Jinu normalizes what you type into a canonical form, so atlanta and Atlanta, Georgia both become Atlanta, GA. That is what lets your listing appear on the right city pages.
• If your exact town is not one Jinu already recognizes, the listing still publishes and is still found by distance from buyers nearby. It may not get its own city hub page yet.

There is also a one-tap option that fills the field from your device location. It is rounded to roughly a kilometer before it leaves your browser, so it names your area rather than your address.

Your default location

Settings, then Marketplace, then Default location, sets where your feed starts. The suggestions in that picker are restricted to the United States and its territories.

Distance, not borders

Buyers filter by distance from a point rather than by state line, so a listing in a border town is found from either side of it. On the website you can set the radius with a slider.

Reading Jinu from outside the United States

The site itself is open worldwide, with one exception covered in Why Jinu is unavailable in some countries. But the marketplace is built for US local trade: prices are in US dollars, and everything assumes buyer and seller can meet. Jinu is not a shipping-first or cross-border marketplace.
