eBay Sold Items Scraper — Sold Prices & Completed Listings

Extract eBay sold items data — final sold prices, shipping and total cost per completed listing — for price tracking, resale research and market intelligence. No API key, no sign-in required.

Main Use Cases

• eBay price tracking — monitor what products actually sell for over time
• Sold price research — build comps for resellers, collectors and valuation
• Resale arbitrage — find underpriced items from completed listing history
• Product pricing databases — structured sold-price datasets for analytics
• Market intelligence — track category demand through item specifics and category paths

How It Works

For a keyword input, the actor builds the classic eBay completed/sold search view (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw={keyword}&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1&_ipg=100), loads up to 100 listings per request, and parses each result card into structured rows: sold price, shipping, currency, total price and the listing URL. With detailedSearch enabled it additionally opens each item detail page to extract the category path, item specifics and the description iframe source. Runs use the Apify proxy stack and a shared cache for efficient large-scale requests.

Track eBay Sold Prices Without the eBay API

eBay's official Finding API was decommissioned on February 5, 2025, and the Browse API only exposes active listings — not sold history. The replacement sold-data surface (Marketplace Insights) is a limited-release, business-approval-only API that new users cannot simply sign up for. This actor fills that gap: it reads the same public eBay sold and completed listings pages any browser can access, and converts them into clean JSON — no developer account, no API key, no rate-limit planning.

Input

All input fields are optional except providing a source — either a keyword or startUrls (or both):

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
startUrls	array	No	[]	Any eBay search/category/listing URLs, from any eBay marketplace (ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.de …). Each URL is requested directly.
keyword	string	No	""	Search term. Builds https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw={keyword}&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1&_ipg=100 on ebay.com.
count	integer	No	20	Max number of sold listings to return. Non-paying runs are capped at 20.
detailedSearch	boolean	No	false	When true, opens each item detail page and adds categoryPath, itemSpecifics, descriptionIframeSrc to every row.

Output

Each dataset row corresponds to one sold/completed listing card:

Field	Type	Description
itemId	string	eBay item ID
url	string	Listing URL
title	string	Listing title
soldPrice	string	Final sold price, as displayed (e.g. "29.99")
soldCurrency	string	Currency symbol code — USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, CHF (mapped from $, £, €, C$, AU$, CHF)
shippingPrice	string	Shipping cost, "0" for free shipping
totalPrice	number	soldPrice + shippingPrice (numeric)
scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp of extraction

With detailedSearch: true, each row additionally includes:

Field	Type	Description
categoryPath	string	Item's full category breadcrumb path
itemSpecifics	object	Key-value item specifics (brand, condition, model …)
descriptionIframeSrc	string	Source URL of the description iframe

Example Input

eBay Sold Prices at $2.5 per 1,000 Results

Pay-per-result, flat pricing: $0.0025 per sold listing returned (FREE tier), plus a tiny $0.00005 run-start fee. Higher Apify membership tiers reduce the per-result rate. A 100-listing run costs about $0.25 — the cheapest way to get clean sold-price data on Apify at this depth. Non-paying users get up to 20 results per run (enforced in the actor).

Integrations & Automation

• Apify API — run it from any app via POST /v2/acts/ahmed_jasarevic~ebay-scraper/runs
• Apify MCP — callable from Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client as ahmed_jasarevic/ebay-scraper
• Webhooks — send new datasets to your own service on completion
• Scheduled runs — set a daily/weekly schedule from the Actor's "Schedule" tab to build a price-history series; recurring runs also improve Apify Store recommendations

This actor differentiates on depth at low cost: $0.0025 per result with optional category-path and item-specifics extraction is a cheaper per-row combo than the $3.00–$8.00/1k listing-only actors — worth checking if you need both sold prices and enriched specifics in one run.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official eBay API?

The eBay Finding API (sold search) was retired in February 2025. The Browse API only serves active listings — no sold history — and the Marketplace Insights API (eBay's official sold-data channel) is a limited-release, business-approval-only product not open to new sign-ups. This actor gets the same historical sold and completed listings data from eBay's public search pages, with no developer approval process.

What are alternatives to this actor?

• eBay Product Research (formerly Terapeak) — free for sellers inside Seller Hub, ~3 years of history, UI-only
• Other Apify actors — sync-network/ebay-sold-listings-scraper (8 marketplaces, $2/1k), crawloop/ebay-sold-listings-scraper (20+ marketplaces), khadinakbar/ebay-sold-comps-analytics-scraper (includes analytics)
• Rolling your own scraper against eBay search pages and maintaining it as eBay's markup changes

Can I scrape sold data from eBay sites other than the US?

The keyword search always targets ebay.com. To scrape ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.fr, ebay.it, ebay.es, ebay.ca or ebay.com.au, paste a search URL from that marketplace into startUrls — currency is mapped automatically ($ → USD, £ → GBP, € → EUR, C$ → CAD, AU$ → AUD, CHF → CHF).

A run returned 0 rows — what happened?

eBay has been showing the completed/sold search view behind a sign-in wall to anonymous visitors in 2026 (Akamai "orch" challenge). The actor requests the exact public sold-view URL (LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1); if eBay serves the wall instead of results, the run ends with an empty dataset. Re-running usually succeeds when the wall relaxes, and pasting URLs from a logged-in session you already have works too.

How can I track eBay price trends over time?

Set up a daily or weekly scheduled run for each keyword and keep the datasets. Since every row carries soldPrice, totalPrice and scrapedAt, you can chart price history and compute average/median sold prices over any window.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: given a product keyword, returns a list of eBay sold/completed listings with sold price, shipping, total price and currency.

Minimal working input:

{ "keyword": "sony wh-1000xm5", "count": 25 }

Variant inputs:

• Non-US marketplace: { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=ps5&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1" }], "count": 25 }
• Enriched rows (adds categoryPath, itemSpecifics, descriptionIframeSrc): { "keyword": "nvidia 4090", "count": 10, "detailedSearch": true }

Output fields: itemId, url, title, soldPrice, soldCurrency, shippingPrice, totalPrice (number), scrapedAt; with detailedSearch also categoryPath, itemSpecifics, descriptionIframeSrc.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• If both keyword and startUrls are set, both are processed — sets are merged, so pass only one unless you want both.
• count default is 20; non-paying users are hard-capped at 20 results regardless of count — ask whether the caller has a paid Apify plan before promising larger runs.
• keyword searches only ebay.com; for other marketplaces you must supply a marketplace search URL via startUrls.
• detailedSearch fires one additional detail-page request per listing (up to count extra requests) — enable it only when category/specifics are actually needed.
• totalPrice is numeric (soldPrice + shippingPrice); string prices keep eBay's original formatting for parsing edge cases.

Billing: pay-per-event — $0.0025 per dataset item in the FREE tier (lower on higher plans) + $0.00005 run start.
