Some collectors do not display their nationality via the national flag.

Is there any special reason for that?

There are collectors who want to manage their collection through Catawiki, but do not want to give much publicity about the place and country where they live. Or actually where they have their collection.

The main reason - I think - is that it is not mandatory. People are lazy. Why fill in something if you don't have to.

It doesn't bother me that much with collectors, but with sellers it does.

Everyone has their reasons and I think the main one is the privacy reason. This is also discussed extensively in another post, so I will not go into that. It is useful if the person expects an answer from someone. Without a flag you cannot know in which language you should address someone.

I do not understand at all with sellers, because you sell more if you advertise your store well, don't you? I think that also includes a good description of your store and your profile. The fact that they have not filled that in is not correct, but it does not bother me until I have a question. It bothers me more that sellers post as little data as possible with a new CataWiki item and don't read the lines.
