Launched in 2016, Facebook Marketplace has rapidly become a go-to for buying and selling within local communities. One key feature is the ability to save listings. Saving a listing allows you to revisit it easily, watch for price changes, or simply keep an eye on something you’re interested in.
Accessing Your Saved Items
Although saving items on the Marketplace is straightforward, many users struggle to locate these saved listings later. If you’re having trouble, you’re not alone; the option to view saved items is not immediately obvious on both the Facebook app and website.
Steps to View Saved Items on Mobile
Ensure your Facebook app is updated to the latest version. Open the app, navigate to the Marketplace by tapping the menu tab, then tap your profile icon in the upper right corner. Here, you will see an option labeled “Saved items.” Selecting this will display all items you’ve saved, sorted chronologically.
Steps for Desktop Users
On your computer, open a web browser and visit the Facebook homepage. Click on “Marketplace” located in the sidebar on the left. Next, select “Buying” and then the “Saved” option underneath it. This will reveal your saved items in the order they were saved.
Alternative Direct Link
You can also access your saved items directly by visiting: facebook.com/marketplace/you/saved
Managing Saved Items
If you wish to delete a saved item, tap the menu tab in the app, go to “Saved,” and then tap the “See All” button under ‘Most Recent’. From there, use the “All” drop-down menu at the top-right to select “Products,” then tap the ellipsis (3-dot icon) next to the item you want to remove and select “Unsave.” Confirm by tapping “Remove.”
Deleting Multiple Saved Items
Currently, Facebook does not offer an option to delete all saved items at once. Each item must be unsaved individually.
Table: Steps to View and Manage Saved Items
| Action | Mobile | Desktop |
|---|---|---|
| View Saved Items | Menu > Profile Icon > Saved Items | Marketplace > Buying > Saved |
| Delete Saved Items | Menu > Saved > See All > Products > Unsave | Not applicable |
Final Insights: Navigating Marketplace Saves
Facebook Marketplace offers a dynamic platform for community-based buying and selling. While the feature to save items enhances shopping convenience, accessing and managing these saves can be tricky. However, with the right steps, you can easily view and manage your saved items, making your Marketplace experience smoother and more enjoyable.
