I am also now missing this feature in my profile. What's more annoying is that I set up a few Watchlist items in the past and now I have no way of unsubscribing from those!
Hi Fred, I posted in the "Buy and Sell" board but when I look for it I can only find it on the front page. It's a Canon 1D MK IV. When I search it on the board, it's not posted.
Hi, Fred. I initially received e-mails and SMS messages for private messages and for Watchlist "hits," but lately I'm receiving nothing. I've verified that my SMS number is correct and receiving texts. Has there been a recent change? Thanks for your help.

I just finished up a new feature for the buy and sell boards. It's called "Watchlist".
Upload & Sell members can now add up to 3 keywords to their profiles for items they are watching. Once an item on the list is posted for sale (FS, WTB or FT), a private message will be sent.
You will be the first to know about the listing for the item(s) you are interested in.
Here is my profile showing a sample watch-list.

Hi: I cannot seem to find the area where I can access/edit a watch list? I'm am upload/sell member as well. What am I doing wrong?
I'm also having trouble with no email or SMS alerts for watch list. I've tried turning it on and off. Switching some terms to alert on. No results.
Applications I own at work fire off millions of texts and emails a year. While not technically a technical person I know the drill with Syniverse and such and am capable of talking through a system with a dev team and writing some user stories and specs and doing some UAT. You can "pay" me in used gear
I tried to do this but I couldn't. I can't access your example either. Can you walk me through how to sign up for the watchlist? I am looking for a Peak Design Everyday 20L backpack and I'd like to be notified if one comes up. Thanks, Lawrence
My "Upload & Sell" expired (don't need a subscription at the moment) and there's no way to remove the previously set alerts (the feature disappears from profile after the expiry - but the keywords are still active). How can I get rid of those?
It is still there. Click "my profile", then "edit profile", scroll to the bottom, you will see three lines in which you can enter search terms. I think it is one term per line.
However, the feature does not seem to quite work. When a match appears I get a PM, but that PM is vieweable only by visiting fredmiranda.com. With other PMs I get an email notification of a new PM, but not with B&S matches. In addition, despite checking the "Notify with SMS" box, I never receive any notifications.
Fred has never responded to any requests for technical support that I have sent (I have two orphaned quote notifications that have been there for 3 years, and I can't get rid of), and I don't expect this to change in this case. His website is one of the few places where I hang out, but it sure would be nice if there was some type of response when subscribing members need a bit of help. This is precisely the reason why I do not maintain a continuous subscription - it seems that other than access to B&S a subscription gives you nothing else, so I buy one just when I have something to sell.
I subscribe full time because it is a great place on the web
Have met in person probably 10 people and many more than I stay in touch with
online I am sure it must be expensive to maintain such a site
and I want to contribute my share to make sure it doesn't disappear
Just my 2 cents
