Gestire chi può inviarti messaggi o visualizzare il tuo profilo
markto.ch gives you control over who can contact you and how visible your profile is to others. These settings help reduce unwanted messages and protect your privacy while still allowing genuine buyers/sellers to reach you.
How to Access These Controls
- Accedi al tuo account.
- Fai clic sull'icona del tuo profilo o sul tuo nome (in alto a destra).
- Selezionare Impostazioni, Impostazioni dell'account, Privacy, Privacy & Visibility, O Contact & Messaging.
- Look for sections labeled Messaging, Who can contact me, Visibilità del profilo, Message Settings, O Privacy Controls.
Key Controls You Can Usually Adjust
1. Who Can Message / Contact You
Common options include:
- Everyone (any registered user can send you a message)
- Only people replying to your ads
- Only people whose listings you have contacted first
- Verified / Trusted users only (if available)
- No one (effectively disables incoming messages except replies to your own ads)
Recommended setting for most users:
“Only people replying to my ads” or “Only people I have contacted first”
This prevents random spam while letting serious buyers reach you.
2. Profile Visibility
Options typically include:
- Public (visible to everyone, even non-logged-in users)
- Registered users only
- Contacts / people you’ve messaged only
- Hidden / Private (profile only visible in your own account)
What this affects:
- Whether strangers can see your profile picture, bio, name, and active listings when browsing.
- Whether your profile appears in search results or recommendations outside your own activity.
Recommended setting:
Keep profile “Public” or “Registered users only” if you post ads (buyers need to see who they’re dealing with).
Switch to more restricted if you mostly browse and rarely sell.
3. Related Controls (Often in the Same Area)
- Block specific users (from their profile or message thread)
- Mute notifications from certain conversations
- Hide online status / last active time
- Limit who sees your phone number (see “Updating Your Contact Preferences”)
Step-by-Step: Adjusting Messaging & Visibility
- In the Privacy / Messaging section, find Who can send me messages O Contact permissions.
- Choose your preferred level (e.g., “Only replies to my ads”).
- In the Visibilità del profilo O Who can view my profile section, select your desired audience.
- Clic Salva, Update Settings, O Applica le modifiche.
- Test by asking a friend (or using a second account) to see if they can message/view you as expected.
Suggerimenti rapidi
- Start with restrictive settings (only replies allowed, profile visible to registered users) if you get too many messages.
- If you sell frequently, allow broader messaging to avoid losing potential buyers.
- Blocked users can’t message you or see your profile (mutual block).
- Changes apply instantly to new interactions; existing conversations usually remain open.
- Mobile: Same options — tap profile → Settings → Privacy/Messaging.
Risoluzione dei problemi
- Still getting unwanted messages? Check if the setting is saved and log out/in.
- Profile too visible? Confirm no per-ad visibility overrides exist when editing listings.
- No options found? markto.ch may use simpler defaults (everyone can message if they reply to an ad). Contact support via the “Contact” link for clarification.
Adjust these once after setup — it keeps your inbox clean and your profile as private as you want while staying active on markto.ch.
