Saving searches and using your watchlist
A saved search watches for new listings that match your filters and lets you know when they appear. Your watchlist keeps single listings you want to compare or come back to.
Save a search
- Open the marketplace and choose the species, breed, distance, sale format or other filters that matter to you.
- Select Show Results, then Save this search. On a phone, both buttons sit at the bottom of the Filters panel.
- Type a name you'll recognize, such as Highland cattle within 500 miles. Check the filters listed under it, then select Save.
If you haven't picked any filters (words in the search box don't count), Creatures still saves the search. It tells you the search matches most new listings and suggests narrowing your filters.
You can keep up to 10 saved searches. If you already saved the same filters, Creatures keeps the one you have instead of adding a copy.
Your saved searches appear as named buttons: next to Save this search on a computer, and at the top of the Filters panel on a phone. Select one to run it again. Select its pencil to open Edit saved search, where you can rename it or Delete it.
Choose how often alerts arrive
Once you have at least one saved search, open Settings from your account menu. On the Notifications tab, find Saved Searches under Marketplace Activity. The row only appears after you save your first search.
Choose Instant, Daily digest, Weekly digest or Off. The default is Daily digest. The In-app, Email and SMS switches in the same row decide where those alerts reach you.
Save a single listing
On a listing page, select Save. The button changes to Saved. On marketplace cards, tap the heart instead. Select it again to remove the listing.
To see everything you saved, select My Watchlist above the results on a computer. On a phone, open Filters and turn on My Watchlist. If you haven't saved anything yet, you'll see "Your watchlist is empty."
Haven't bought anything yet? Open Dashboard, then Buying, then Purchases. It shows Your shortlist, with a count of the listings you're watching and Open your watchlist.
Get a price drop alert
On a fixed-price listing, select Alert me if price drops. It changes to Alerting on price drop, and Creatures lets you know if the seller lowers the price. Select it again to turn the alert off.
This alert is separate from your watchlist and from saved-search alerts. It isn't offered on private sale pages, which are listings a seller shares only by link.
Not signed in?
You can still select Save, Alert me if price drops or Save this search. Creatures asks for your name and email, or lets you continue with Google, Facebook or X. It confirms your email before it saves anything.
At a sale event
On a sale event page, the Saved view gathers the lots you saved. Auction lots you bid on show Winning or Outbid. See Shopping a sale event as a buyer.
