How to Create a Free Account on markto.ch
Creating a free account on markto.ch gives you full access to the platform’s best features: posting your own ads at no cost (for private users), saving favorite listings, sending direct messages, managing your ads, and enjoying personalized local browsing. Registration is quick, secure, and completely free for individuals. While you can browse some ads without signing in, posting ads or contacting other users requires an account.
Follow these simple steps to get started.
Step 1: Visit the markto.ch Website
Open your browser and go to https://www.markto.ch.
The homepage displays the latest ads, popular categories, and nearby cities or regions.
Step 2: Find the Registration Button
Look in the top-right corner of the page for:
- “Register” or “Create Account”
- Or click “Log In” and then select the option for “Not registered yet? Register”
You may also see the registration prompt automatically when you:
- Try to post a new ad
- Click “Contact” on any listing
- Attempt to save a listing to favorites
Step 3: Complete the Registration Form
On the registration page, enter the following information:
- Email address (this will be your login – use a valid email you can access)
- Password (create a strong password, usually at least 8 characters long)
- Phone number (a Swiss mobile number is recommended for quick verification)
- Optional / later: Your full name, preferred city or postal code
Make sure to:
- Check the box to agree to the Conditions d'utilisation
- Check the box to agree to the politique de confidentialité
Then click Register or Create Account.
Step 4: Verify Your Account
Right after submitting the form, you will receive:
- A text message (SMS) with a 6-digit verification code
- Possibly an email confirmation link or code (check your inbox and spam/junk folder)
Enter the code from the SMS on the verification screen.
Once confirmed, your account is fully activated.
Step 5: Set Up Your Profile (Recommended)
After verification, sign in and go to your account area (usually shown as “My Account” or your profile icon).
Take a moment to:
- Upload a profile picture
- Set your default location (city, region, or postal code in Switzerland)
- Add any extra details (name visibility, short bio, notification preferences)
A complete profile builds trust, improves local matching, and is required if you later want to apply for Trusted Seller status.
Congratulations – Your Account Is Ready!
You can now:
- Post unlimited free private ads
- Browse with location-based filters
- Message buyers and sellers directly
- Save listings to your favorites
- Manage all your ads in one place
Quick Tips
- Use a real Swiss phone number (+41 prefix) for the fastest verification code delivery.
- Choose a strong, unique password and keep it safe.
- Businesses or frequent sellers can explore paid “efficient” promotion options after registration (private use remains 100% free).
- The entire process works smoothly on mobile phones and tablets.
Troubleshooting
- “Email already in use”? → Try signing in or use a different email address.
- No text message received? → Request the code again, check your signal strength, confirm the phone number format, or use email verification if available.
- Form won’t submit? → Make sure all required fields are filled and the agreement boxes are checked.
