When buying or listing an item for the first time, you have to enter one address. This address gets used for shipping, pickup, return and billing. Yet, we give you some options to create additional addresses for greater flexibility.
As a buyer
When making a purchase on marko, you have the option to set two distinct addresses: the shipping address and the billing address. By default, those are the same address, however, flexibility is provided for different scenarios.
Shipping Address: this is the destination address that is provided to the seller for them to ship you the item. It’s also the address that’s printed on the shipping label. If after purchasing an item, you realise you need to change the shipping address, contact marko support at [email protected].
Billing Address: this address is simply use for the receipt of your purchase. If you need a receipt of your purchase, contact us at [email protected]
As a seller
When selling on marko, you’ve got an address for shipping and pickup. Usually, this is the same, but we give you the possibility to set them differently. Let’s say you live in a small town, and work in a big city, you might want to offer pickup in the bigger city, to increase your chance of a sale, but receive the shipping label at your home address.
Shipping & Return Address: that’s the one we use to send you the marko Easy Shipping label (when you’re shipping with it). It’s also the address we communicate to the buyer if they want to ship back the item to you. If after selling an item, you realise you need to change the shipping or return address, contact marko support at [email protected].
Pickup Address: that’s the one that is communicated if the buyer chooses the pickup option. Its city and zip code are visible on your listing so potential buyers know where the meet-up would take place. Once someone buys your item, we give them your entire pickup address and email contact so you can organise the pickup appointment together.

Imagine you listed your jacket for sale in March while residing in Geneva. In April, you relocated to Bern but forgot to update your address details. Fast forward to June, and a buyer decides to purchase your item. However, since you hadn't updated your address, the transaction was processed using your old Geneva address. Suddenly, you realize, "Oops, I forgot to change my address." Unfortunately, since the transaction is already in progress, you're unable to make the adjustment yourself. In this situation, it's crucial to reach out to marko support promptly at [email protected].

Deleting an address will not impact ongoing purchases or sales. If you have an ongoing purchase or sale that uses and address you delete, those will still be linked to that address.
