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 checks Facebook Marketplace as often as every minute (Pro, $45/mo, runs 2 of its 10 watches every minute; Premium, $80/mo, runs all 10; Basic, $30/mo, checks every 5–10 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 iPhone app is live on the App Store, 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: checked every minute on fast watches (Pro, $45/mo, runs 2 of its 10 watches every minute; Premium, $80/mo, runs all 10), 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.
- Managed 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 app is live on the App Store; keep Facebook’s own notifications on alongside.

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.
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. Managed plans check it around the clock — Basic ($30/mo) runs 2 watches every 5 minutes and the other 8 every 10; Pro ($45/mo) runs 2 of its 10 every minute; Premium ($80/mo) runs all 10 every minute. 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 checks fast watches every minute and alerts usually about a second after it detects a match. Test it yourself — post a cheap item from your own account and time the alert.
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. Managed plans check it as often as every minute — Pro ($45/mo) runs 2 of its 10 watches every minute, Premium ($80/mo) runs all 10 — and send AI-scored matches to Telegram and native push.
How fast are the alerts?+
JDMarket checks fast watches every minute and sends 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?+
Managed plans: Basic $30/mo (2 watches check every 5 minutes, the other 8 every 10), Pro $45/mo (2 watches every minute), Premium $80/mo (all 10 every minute) — 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.
