Umgang mit doppelten Einträgen: Richtlinien und wie man Strafen vermeidet
Duplicate listings on markto.ch can confuse buyers, clutter search results, and violate platform rules. Understanding the policies and best practices helps you avoid penalties while keeping your listings effective and professional.
1. What Counts as a Duplicate Listing
- Posting the same item multiple times in different categories or regions.
- Creating multiple listings with nearly identical titles, descriptions, and photos.
- Attempting to increase visibility through repeated postings rather than using platform promotion tools.
2. Why Duplicate Listings Are Prohibited
- They reduce the quality of search results and platform experience for buyers.
- They can be used to manipulate ranking or visibility, which is unfair to other sellers.
- Excessive duplicates may trigger account warnings or restrictions.
3. How to Avoid Duplicate Listings
- Use one comprehensive listing per item with complete details, photos, and accurate category placement.
- If you need to update the listing (price, photos, description), edit the existing listing rather than creating a new one.
- Utilize platform features like bumps, highlights, or paid promotion to increase visibility instead of reposting.
4. Dealing with Accidental Duplicates
- If a duplicate is created by mistake, delete or merge the extra listing immediately.
- Ensure all interested buyers are redirected to the active listing to maintain transparency and trust.
5. Consequences of Violating Duplicate Listing Rules
- Removal of duplicate listings.
- Temporary or permanent account restrictions for repeated offenses.
- Reduced credibility with buyers due to inconsistent or spammy listings.
Following markto.ch’s policies on duplicate listings ensures a fair marketplace, improves buyer experience, and protects your account from penalties while maintaining effective and visible listings.
