Quick Post: Posting an Ad Without Logging In (If Allowed) vs. With Account
On markto.ch, the ability to post an ad quickly without logging in (often called “Quick Post” or “Guest Post”) is not currently supported. The platform requires an account for all ad postings — even private, free ones. Here’s the clear comparison and what actually happens.
Posting Without Logging In (Guest / Quick Post)
- Not possible on markto.ch
- When you click “Post Ad”, “Create Listing”, or “Inserat erstellen” from the homepage or menu:
- If you’re not logged in → you are immediately redirected or prompted to log in or register first.
- No guest/post-without-account option exists (unlike some larger international classified sites).
- Reason: markto.ch ties every listing to a verified account for:
- Better spam/abuse prevention
- Easier contact via internal messaging
- Accountability (phone/email verification required)
- Future features like Trusted Seller or reporting
Posting With an Account (Required)
- Only way to create an ad
- Advantages of being logged in:
- Unlimited free private postings
- Save drafts (if feature available)
- Edit/delete/renew your own ads later
- Receive messages directly in your inbox
- Track views, inquiries, and performance
- Build profile trust (photo, bio, Trusted Seller path)
- Default location pre-filled from profile
- Faster future postings (form remembers preferences)
Step-by-Step: How Posting Actually Works (With Account)
- Log in (or register if new – takes ~2 minutes).
- Click Post Ad / Neue Anzeige (big button usually visible on homepage).
- Fill category, location, title, price, description, photos (see “How to Create Your First Listing” guide).
- Publish → ad goes live after quick review (instant for most private users).
Quick Summary Table
| Feature / Requirement | Without Account (Guest) | With Account (Logged In) |
|---|---|---|
| Post an ad | Not allowed | Yes – free & unlimited |
| Redirected to login/register | Oui | Non |
| Save drafts / edit later | Non | Oui |
| Receive messages in inbox | Non | Oui |
| Track ad views & inquiries | Non | Oui |
| Use default location/profile | Non | Oui |
| Apply for Trusted Seller later | Non | Oui |
Bottom Line
You must have an account to post anything on markto.ch — there is no true “quick post” or guest posting option. The signup/verification is fast and designed to be simple, so most users complete it in under 3 minutes and then post freely.
If you see any “post without login” button or flow in the future (platform updates happen), it would be an exception — but as of now, log in first every time.
