eBay Scraper - Listings, Prices & Sellers

What does eBay Scraper do?

eBay Scraper extracts eBay listings — active (live) or sold and completed — from ebay.com as structured JSON: title, price as a number and currency, condition, images, shipping, and buying format for every result. Switch itemStatus to sold for price research, where each record also carries the final sold price and sold date. Turn on includeDetails to pull the full item-specifics table (brand, model, MPN, EAN) and seller identity with feedback rating, so comps match by part number and weigh by seller reputation. Run it across 14 eBay markets, filter by price or condition, and use incremental mode to pull only what is new or changed since your last run.

Key features

• 🛒 Active or sold, one actor — itemStatus: active returns live listings currently for sale; itemStatus: sold returns sold and completed listings for price research, with the final sold price (priceValue / priceCurrency) and sold date on every record.
• ⚡ Fast by default, deep on demand — runs default to a quick search-results sweep (title, price, condition, shipping). Flip includeDetails on when you need item specifics and seller data; it trades speed for depth.
• 🏷️ Item specifics — with includeDetails on, records gain brand, model, MPN, EAN and the rest of eBay's item-specifics table. Match comps by part number instead of guessing from titles.
• 👤 Seller signals — with includeDetails on, records carry sellerName, sellerFeedbackCount and profile URL, so listings can be weighted by seller rating and reputation.
• 🌎 14 eBay markets — one country input switches marketplace. Run them in parallel to compare what the same item lists or sells for by region.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — daily runs emit only listings new or changed since the last run. changeType is NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED. Saves 80–95% on recurring monitoring.
• 🎯 Batch searches — multiple search variants in one job — shared dedup, one dataset for compare/diff downstream.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram / Slack / Discord / WhatsApp / webhook alerts per run. Combine with incremental to ping only when listings actually change.
• 📦 Compact mode — core fields only — comparable rows for pricing dashboards without payload overhead.
• 🧹 Empty-field stripping — drop null and empty fields before push, for leaner payloads.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export results to Notion via Apify's MCP connectors. Opt-in, deterministic field-mapping, no AI.

What data can you extract from ebay.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (listingId, listingKey, title, soldDate, soldDateText, priceText, priceValue, and priceCurrency, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (detailFetched). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• itemStatus — Active — live listings currently for sale. Sold — sold & completed listings for price research (final sale price and sold date). (default: "active")
• query — What to search for. Use a JSON array for multiple searches, e.g. ["Nintendo Switch OLED","PS5 slim"].
• country — Which eBay marketplace to search. (default: "US")
• condition — Filter listings by item condition. (default: "any")
• minPrice — Only return listings at or above this price (marketplace currency).
• maxPrice — Only return listings at or below this price (marketplace currency).
• sort — How to order results within each search. (default: "best_match")
• listingType — Only return listings of this buying format. (default: "all")
• freeShipping — Only return listings that ship free. (default: false)
• returnsAccepted — Only return listings from sellers who accept returns. (default: false)
• seller — A seller's username. Combine with a search term to narrow to that seller's matching listings, or leave the search term empty to pull the seller's entire listing set (active listings, or full sold history in sold mode).
• soldWithinDays — Sold mode only. Keep listings sold within this many days. Leave empty for all sold results eBay returns. Ignored for active listings.
• ...and 23 more parameters

Output

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED; set emitUnchanged: true to also include unchanged listings.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.

eBay search doesn't expose a stable, fully enumerable result set — deep pagination is capped and result order can shift between runs — so this actor never claims a listing is gone for good. It only reports what it can currently see.

How much does it cost to scrape ebay.com?

eBay Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.02 per run
• Per listing (primary event): $0.004

You are billed only for the events your run actually triggers. Prices below are the Free plan tier.

Event	Price (Free tier)	Charged when
Actor Start	$0.02 (one-time)	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Listing (with item details) (primary)	$0.004	One listing enriched from its full item page — brand, model, MPN, EAN, item specifics, seller identity, and true listing-currency price.
Listing (fast)	$0.0024	One listing from search results — title, price, condition, shipping, seller. Works for active and sold listings. No item-page fetch.

Example costs (primary event only — other events above add cost when they fire):

• 10 results: $0.06
• 25 results: $0.12
• 100 results: $0.42
• 200 results: $0.82
• 500 results: $2.02

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Numbers below are for the primary Listing (with item details) event. Other events (Listing (fast)) are billed separately when they fire.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.42	$0.04	$0.38 (90%)	$1.20
15% — moderate broad query	$0.42	$0.08	$0.34 (81%)	$2.40
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.42	$0.14	$0.28 (67%)	$4.20

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $12.60. First month with incremental costs $1.58 / $2.74 / $4.48 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
