Detailed Review
Marktplaats.nl is the classifieds site of the Netherlands. The privacy statement names Marktplaats B.V. at Wibautstraat 224 in Amsterdam as the controller of data that users give directly.
That privacy statement is the source for our company details. The tariff page was long and the private rate never made it into our notes.
Who is the data controller at Marktplaats?
Marktplaats B.V. is the controller, with address Wibautstraat 224, 1097 DN Amsterdam and chamber of commerce number KvK 28058712.
Where do Marktplaats prices live?
Marktplaats publishes a tariff page for single listings. We fetched it, but the figures for private sellers were cut off, so no euro amount appears in this review.
Limitations to Consider
Marktplaats private-seller prices are not quoted because the tariff page was only partly read. Ownership within a larger group was not verified, and hosting is unchecked.
Who Should Use Marktplaats
Dutch residents who want a local classifieds site and will check the tariff page for their own listing type.
