The geoCoordinates container will only be returned if the merchant provided geographical coordinates. The locationId field is always returned, but this value is only used internally by eBay.

For warehouse locations, this field is conditionally required if a city and stateOrProvince pair is not provided.

Note: For warehouse locations, city and stateOrProvince pair can be used instead of a postalCode value, and then the postal code is just derived from the city and state/province.
