I say this assuming that shipments within EU countries are really low risk. I have never had a problem and ordered multiple times, so I think I'm right. If I'm not, then what I'm about to say is also wrong.
So, assuming that is true, the possibility of filtering by countries inside the EU is useless. It doesn't matter if the product is in Germany, France, UK or Italy, but it changes a lot if the same product comes from Australia or the USA, since it will go through customs in that case.
Also, if a vendor sends to Germany, he will send to Portugal, Spain or Italy 99% of the time, since distinction within EU members is rarely made. So a general "Sends to EU" filter would be easier than classifying individually by country, and at the same time would be narrower than a general search.
ATM only Nucleus offers this possibility, and I'd like to see it implemented in other markets. So this is a humble request for admins to introduce this option to their markets.
PS: I know a lot of vendors exclude Scandinavian countries. Finland, Sweden and Denmark belong to EU, so this rule wouldn't make much of a difference for them, don't know a better way to help it though.
At East India Company (EIC), we have both European Union and Schengen Area as options.
We cater to the European region specifically, which allows us to avoid US policing agencies. We also disallow weapons, fraud related items, digital goods and poisons.
