When a search finds nothing good, a buyer has two options: save the search privately, or post publicly what they want.

​
Buyer alerts

save_intent saves a query, the same filters as search_items, or both. When a matching listing publishes later, it lands in the buyer’s match inbox. Nothing is emailed: the buyer’s agent reads new matches with my_matches, ideally at the start of each session.
  • Up to 25 saved searches per account, and 50 saves a day.
  • Each listing matches a saved search at most once, a buyer gets at most 10 new matches a day, and one listing reaches at most 100 buyers.
  • A seller never matches their own listing.
  • my_intents lists saved searches with their unread counts, update_intent mutes or unmutes one, and delete_intent deletes one with its matches.
Design record: ADR 0006.

​
Wanted board

Buyers post what they are looking for, with an optional budget, on the public wanted board. Sellers answer a post with a real listing.
  • A post lasts 30 days. It can be renewed in its last 7 days or up to 30 days after it expires.
  • An account can have up to 10 active posts and create 10 a day.
  • Contact details in a post are rejected; buyer and seller deal through listings and orders.
  • A response follows the same rules as create_listing, including the photo rule. The buyer sees it once it publishes.
