Verwalten Ihres Standardstandorts zum Surfen und Posten
Your default location on markto.ch determines which ads appear first when you browse, and it pre-fills the location field when you create new listings. Setting it correctly saves time and shows you more relevant local deals.
Step 1: Access Location Settings
- Log in to your account.
- Click your profile icon or name (top-right corner).
- Select Settings, Account Settings, Preferences, Profile, or Location Settings.
Step 2: Set or Update Your Default Location
- Find the field labeled Default Location, Preferred City/Region, My Area, Postal Code, or Location.
- Enter your information in one of these ways:
- Type a Swiss city name (e.g., Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern)
- Enter a 4-digit postal code (e.g., 8001 for central Zurich)
- Select a canton/region from a dropdown (if available)
- Optional: Some platforms allow adding a radius (e.g., within 20 km) — adjust if the option appears.
- Click Save, Update Location, or Apply.
Step 3: Verify the Change
- Go to the homepage or browse section.
- Your listings should now prioritize ads from your chosen city/region.
- Create a test draft listing (don’t publish) to confirm the location pre-fills correctly.
- If needed, log out and back in for the change to take full effect.
Quick Tips
- Use your actual current or most frequent location for best browsing results.
- You can override the default when posting a specific ad (e.g., selling something from another city).
- For privacy: Your default location is usually private — it doesn’t appear publicly on your profile unless you choose to show it.
- Mobile: Same process — tap profile icon → Settings → Location.
Troubleshooting
- Location not updating? Clear browser cache, refresh, or try a different browser.
- No dropdown or suggestions? Type the city/postal code manually.
- Ads still show wrong area? Double-check the setting and make sure you saved it.
- Can’t find the option? Look in multiple tabs (Profile, Preferences, Privacy) or contact support via the “Contact” link.
Takes under 30 seconds — set it once and enjoy more relevant local ads and easier posting on markto.ch!
