Facebook Marketplace makes it easy to search through its thousands of items for sale. With so many users listing items, the variety and choices can be a bit overwhelming. You may have found several things you’re interested in, but with so many new items listed daily, finding them again could prove daunting. If only there were an easy way to find a listing you looked at, one that you now want to buy.
Fortunately, there’s a very efficient way to see a Marketplace listing that you’re interested in. Using the “saved items” feature, you can easily find those items again. This feature is good to use if you’re waiting to see if the seller lowers the price. In this article, we’ll cover how to save a Marketplace listing on several devices along with other saved listing features.

What Does a Pending Status Mean on a Saved Listing?
Marketplace sellers have the option of changing the status of their listings. They are listed as available, sold, shipped, or pending. If you’ve gone back to an item from your saved list, but it now shows as pending, that means the seller has an interested buyer.
Sellers will frequently change their listing to pending to stop receiving messages from people interested in the item. However, it doesn’t mean that the item has been sold. It most likely means the buyer is waiting for payment.
If you’re still interested in purchasing this item, keep it in your saved list. You can check if it switches from pending to shipped or sold. If so, then the item is no longer available. But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes buyers don’t follow through with payment, and the seller will switch the listing back to available.
