Message Not Sending or Receiving – Common Fixes on markto.ch
markto.ch uses very basic contact forms (no full chat inbox), so “messages” usually mean the “Nachricht senden” / “Send message” button on an ad. If messages aren’t sending or you’re not receiving replies, try these fixes in order.
1. Check If You’re Logged In
- Most contact forms only work after login.
- Fix: Log in (top right) → refresh the ad page → try sending again.
- If not registered: Create a free account first.
2. Verify the Ad Is Still Active
- If the item is marked sold, deleted, expired, or removed → message form disappears or fails.
- Fix: Ask seller via another method (if phone/WhatsApp is visible) or find similar listings.
3. Browser / App Issues
- Cache, extensions, or old session can block forms.
- Fixes:
- Clear browser cache (Ctrl + Shift + R or hard refresh)
- Try incognito/private mode
- Switch browser (Chrome → Firefox or mobile browser)
- Use mobile data instead of Wi-Fi (or vice versa)
4. Form Validation Errors
- Missing required fields (name, email, message text) → send fails silently.
- Fix: Fill all fields completely → double-check email is correct → send again.
5. You’re Not Receiving Replies
- markto.ch forwards messages to the seller’s registered E-Mail (not an in-app inbox).
- Common reasons replies don’t arrive:
- Check spam/junk/promotions folder
- Search inbox for “markto.ch”, seller’s name, item title, or price
- Seller may reply directly via WhatsApp/phone if you included those
- Fix: Add markto.ch email (usually [email protected]) to contacts/safe senders.
6. Technical / Platform Glitches
- Rare site downtime, regional IP blocks, or temporary bugs.
- Fixes:
- Wait 10–30 minutes and retry
- Try from another device (phone vs. computer)
- Check markto.ch status (visit homepage — if it loads normally, usually fine)
7. Quick Workarounds If Form Still Fails
- Use visible contact details if shown (phone, WhatsApp link, email)
- Message via WhatsApp link (most sellers prefer this anyway)
- Contact markto.ch support: Footer → “Kontaktieren Sie uns” → describe issue (include ad link, your email, screenshot of error if any)
Most “message not sending” problems are solved by logging in, clearing cache, or checking spam for replies. If nothing works after these steps, use the support form — they usually respond within 1–3 days.
Quick retry checklist:
- Logged in?
- Ad still active?
- Cache cleared / incognito tried?
- All form fields filled?
- Checked spam folder?
