What input should I set to specify the Item location in the AddItem call?
Detailed Description
The recommended way to specify the location of an item is to use PostalCode, instead of a Location. When you specify the PostalCode, it automatically fills out the location of the item and displays it on the ViewItem page. Also, it uses this value in proximity searches. If you want your item to show up in proximity searches, then you need to use PostalCode.
Here is an AddItem sample which shows how to set the PostalCode:
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?>
<AddItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<Version>523</Version>
<Item>
<Country>US</Country>
<Currency>USD</Currency>
