Marketplace alert guide
How fast are Marketplace alerts?
A one-minute checking schedule is not a promise of a notification within one minute of publication. Visibility, checking, filtering and delivery are separate steps.
1. The marketplace makes a listing visible
An alert service can only find what its search can access. Review, indexing, location filters and marketplace availability can affect when an ad appears. We do not have evidence for a fixed seven-minute Facebook approval delay, and we do not promise to detect every listing.
2. A scheduled check looks for matches
Basic: 2 watches scheduled every 5 minutes and 8 every 10 minutes. Pro: 2 every minute and 8 every 5 minutes. Premium: all 10 every minute. A listing that becomes visible just after a completed check may wait until a later check. Marketplace requests, queued work and retries can take additional time.
3. Rules decide whether to send an alert
Location, price, exclusions and AI criteria can filter a listing out. Existing listings discovered during setup do not establish the speed of future alerts. A missed alert can be a filter or coverage issue rather than slow delivery.
4. Notifications reach your devices
After processing a matching listing, JDMarket sends enabled Telegram and push notifications. Network conditions, permissions, battery settings and notification providers affect receipt time. We have not published an end-to-end delivery guarantee.
Measure your own search
Record the first time you can see a listing in the same marketplace search and the time the notification arrives. Repeat across multiple listings and days. Record misses as well as successful alerts; seller timestamps alone may not describe when search made a listing accessible.

Questions
Are alerts instantaneous?
No fixed end-to-end time is guaranteed. A scheduled check must find an accessible listing, filters must accept it and the notification must be delivered.
Does Facebook always take seven minutes to approve a listing?
We cannot substantiate a fixed seven-minute delay. Visibility and review times can vary.
