The saved search that actually fires.
Facebook Marketplace lets you save a search and, in many regions, turn on notifications for it — but those alerts are batched and throttled, often arriving late or never, and the option isn’t available everywhere. A JDMarket watch is that same saved search, run properly: it sends instant alerts the moment a listing goes live on fast tiers (Pro, $45/mo, makes 2 of its 10 watches instant; Premium, $80/mo, makes all 10 instant; Basic, $30/mo, surfaces matches within minutes), scores each new listing 1–5 with AI against your plain-language rules, and sends matches to Telegram and native push — usually about a second after it detects one. There’s no Facebook login and nothing to install, the apps are live on the App Store and Google Play (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US), and Basic starts with a 3-day free trial (card on file). Keep Facebook’s own notifications on alongside — they don’t conflict.

The short answer
- Facebook’s saved-search notifications are real but unreliable: they’re batched and throttled, often delayed or never arriving, and the feature isn’t available everywhere — it varies by region and app version (observed June 2026).
- A JDMarket watch is a saved search that actually fires: instant on fast watches — the moment a listing goes live (Pro, $45/mo, makes 2 of its 10 watches instant; Premium, $80/mo, makes all 10 instant), with the alert sent usually about a second after a match is detected.
- Every new listing is AI-scored 1–5 against your plain-language rules, with a make/model gate and per-model price bands — a ping means a real match, not just a keyword hit.
- App plans start at $30/mo (Basic, 3-day free trial with a card on file), run 24/7 with no Facebook login and every device off, and deliver to Telegram + native push. The iPhone and Android apps are live on the App Store and Google Play; keep Facebook’s own notifications on alongside.

Facebook’s saved-search notifications: real, but easy to miss
In many regions, Facebook Marketplace lets you save a search and turn on notifications for it — and since it’s free, it’s worth switching on. But the alerts are batched and throttled, they often arrive late or not at all, and the option isn’t available everywhere — it varies by region and app version (observed June 2026). For an item that sells in minutes, a notification that lands hours later in your general notification tray is the same as no notification.
A watch is a saved search that actually fires
A JDMarket watch is the same saved search, taken seriously: your query, city, distance filter, price caps, and any plain-language rules you add. App plans check it around the clock — Basic ($30/mo) surfaces matches within minutes; Pro ($45/mo) makes 2 of its 10 watches instant — the moment a listing goes live; Premium ($80/mo) makes all 10 instant. When a new listing matches, the alert usually goes out about a second after we detect it — to Telegram and native push, with the photo, price, and a direct link. No Facebook login, nothing to install, and it keeps running with every device off.
AI-scored, so a ping means a real match
The problem with any raw keyword feed is noise. JDMarket scores every new listing 1–5 with AI against your rules and drops look-alikes with a make/model gate — a “Honda Civic” watch ignores Corollas. Per-model price bands let one watch track several models or years, each with its own price cap, and a durable sent-alerts inbox keeps the history of everything your watches have sent.
Keep Facebook’s notifications on — and know what no tool can beat
You don’t have to choose: run a JDMarket watch alongside Facebook’s own saved-search notifications and act on whichever arrives first. One honest note on speed: Facebook holds new listings in review for about 7 minutes before anyone — any buyer, any tool — can see them, so no tool can alert before that window closes. What happens after it is what you can control: JDMarket's fast watches are instant — the moment a listing goes live — alerting usually about a second after it detects a match. Test it yourself — post a cheap item from your own account and time the alert.

Facebook doesn’t publish how saved-search notifications are scheduled or delivered. The native-behavior descriptions here (batched/throttled delivery, alerts delayed or missing, availability varying by region and app version) are our first-party observations as of June 2026 — behavior may differ by account. JDMarket figures are code-verified 2026-07-02. Facebook’s own ~7-minute listing-approval window applies equally to both columns.

Questions
Does Facebook Marketplace have saved-search alerts?+
Yes, in many regions — run a search and look for the save / “Notify me” option. But availability varies by region and app version, and the notifications are batched and throttled, so they often arrive late or never (observed June 2026).
How do I make a Facebook Marketplace saved search actually send alerts?+
Turn on Facebook’s own notification where it’s offered, then run the same search as a JDMarket watch. App plans send instant alerts the moment a listing goes live on fast tiers — Pro ($45/mo) makes 2 of its 10 watches instant, Premium ($80/mo) makes all 10 instant — and send AI-scored matches to Telegram and native push.
How fast are the alerts?+
JDMarket's fast watches are instant — the moment a listing goes live — sending the alert usually about a second after it detects a match. One caveat that applies to every tool: Facebook holds new listings in review for about 7 minutes before anyone can see them.
How much does JDMarket cost?+
App plans: Basic $30/mo (surfaces matches within minutes), Pro $45/mo (2 watches instant — the moment a listing goes live), Premium $80/mo (all 10 instant — the moment a listing goes live) — each with 10 active watches. Basic has a 3-day free trial with a card on file; it auto-renews and you can cancel anytime. Pro and Premium are card-upfront with no trial. The separate Desktop app is $29.99/mo (Facebook only) with the same 3-day, card-on-file trial.
Should I turn off Facebook’s own saved-search notifications?+
No — keep them on. They’re free and don’t conflict with a JDMarket watch; you simply act on whichever alert arrives first. The watch adds the parts Facebook doesn’t offer: a published check cadence, AI deal scoring, and delivery to Telegram and push.
