Where Does Marktplaats Store Ads and Messages?
Marktplaats keeps ads, bids, and messages on its servers with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
Marktplaats is fully server-side. Ads, bids, favorites, and messages attach to the account and stay synced with the website. The sandbox holds login session and cached images.
App and website show the same state because both read one backend. Reinstalls restore everything after login. The gallery keeps the only full-resolution copy of sale photos.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Marktplaats to a new phone?
Log in on the new phone. Active ads, bids, and conversations sync from the account. Ad photos come from the gallery, so keep those outside the old app.
How do I save Marktplaats ad photos?
Save them from the ad while it runs. Deleted ads take their images with them. The sandbox held thumbnails only, never the originals.
