Facebook Marketplace is a great place to sell products and services. But it can also be a great place to find new customers. To make sure you get the most out of Facebook Marketplace, set up alerts for products and services that you sell. To create a market alert, go to Facebook Marketplace and click on the “Alerts” tab. Then, select the product or service you want to alert your friends about. Click on the “Create Alert” button and enter your information. When someone clicks on your alert, you will get an email notification with information about the product or service that was sold through Facebook Marketplace. You can also see this information in your Facebook timeline under “Products Sold through Facebook Marketplace” or “Products Sold by You”.
Facebook Marketplace has become the go-to place for selling things online. If you’re on the lookout for a specific item, an alert can help you snag a great deal before everyone else. We’ll show you how to do it.
Setting up an alert will allow you to be notified when new items matching your search parameters are posted. You can skip the search process and always know when new items are posted. It’s super handy.

First, head on over to Facebook.com in a desktop browser such as Google Chrome. Click the “Marketplace” shortcut in the sidebar or top bar.
Next, use the search box to enter what you’re looking for.
Now click the “Notify Me” button under the search bar.
A little pop-up window will appear. Enter a minimum and maximum price and adjust the search radius if you’d like. Click “Create Alert” to finish.
To edit or remove an alert, do the search again and click “Edit Alert.” You’ll have the option to adjust the parameters or “Remove Alert.”
That’s all there is to it! Facebook Marketplace has a lot of advantages over Craigslist—though it’s certainly not perfect. If you do a lot of shopping in the Marketplace, you should take advantage of the alert feature.
