Making or Accepting Offers (Make an Offer Feature – If Available)

Making or Accepting Offers (Make an Offer Feature – If Available) on markto.ch

markto.ch is a straightforward local classifieds platform with no dedicated “Make an Offer” button or built-in offer system (unlike some international sites such as eBay Kleinanzeigen, Facebook Marketplace, or Vinted). There is no formal “Make an Offer” feature where buyers submit structured bids that sellers accept/decline through the platform.

All price negotiations and offer-making happen through direct messages (platform form → email/WhatsApp/phone). Here’s how it works in practice and how to handle offers effectively.

As a Buyer: How to Make an Offer

1. Contact the seller first
   Use the available method:

• “Nachricht senden” / “Send message” button (if present)
• WhatsApp link
• Phone / email (if visible)

1. Send a clear, polite offer message
   After confirming availability and asking 1–2 questions:
   Examples:

• “Hi! Still available? Would you accept CHF 180 in cash if I pick up today?”
• “Looks great! My max is CHF 220 — possible?”
• “Interested at CHF 250 if you include delivery to [your area]. What do you think?”

1. Follow up on their response

• If they counter: Reply with your adjusted offer or meet in the middle.
• If they accept: Confirm the final price, pickup details, and payment method in writing.

1. Tips for better success

• Offer 10–20% below asking price (common range).
• Mention quick pickup or cash to make your offer attractive.
• Be ready to walk away if no agreement — plenty of similar listings exist.

As a Seller: How to Accept (or Decline) Offers

1. Receive the offer via message
   Most come through WhatsApp, email, or platform-forwarded form.
2. Reply quickly and clearly

• Accept: “Yes, CHF 180 works! When can you come by? Cash on pickup.”
• Counter: “Thanks! CHF 200 would be better — can do that for fast pickup.”
• Decline politely: “Thanks for the offer, but CHF 250 is my lowest. Good luck!”

1. Confirm acceptance in writing
   Once agreed:

• Restate the final price, time, location, and payment.
• Example: “Deal at CHF 190 cash, pickup Saturday 3 PM at [public spot]. OK?”

1. Tips for sellers

• Small concessions (CHF 10–30) often close deals faster.
• If multiple offers: Choose the best combo of price + speed + reliability.
• Mark the ad as “reserved” or “sold” in your account once agreed (prevents more inquiries).
