Field	Description
itemId	eBay item ID
url	Full listing URL

condition	Localized eBay condition label as shown on the search card (e.g. "Pre-Owned" on ebay.com, "Gebraucht" on ebay.de, "Neuf" on ebay.fr, "Nuovo" on ebay.it, "Usado" on ebay.es). null when eBay didn't display one. This is the authoritative field — what the buyer actually saw.
conditionId	Best-effort numeric eBay condition ID resolved from condition via a static lookup table. null when condition is null or the label isn't in the lookup table (eBay can introduce new or locale-specific labels at any time — always check condition first). Common IDs: 1000 New · 1500 Open box / New Other · 1750 New with defects · 2000–2030 Refurbished tiers (Certified / Excellent / Very Good / Good) · 2500 Seller Refurbished · 2750 Like New · 3000 Used / Pre-Owned · 7000 For parts. Full reference
categoryId	Category id used for the search (_sacat)
category	Selected category label from the search page dropdown
endedAt	Sale completion timestamp (ISO 8601)
soldPrice	Final transaction price. Note: when isBestOfferAccepted is true, this is the asking price — the actual accepted offer is not disclosed by eBay.
soldCurrency	Currency code (e.g. USD, GBP)
listingType	How the item sold: "best_offer_accepted" · "buy_it_now" · "auction" · null (undetermined)
isBestOfferAccepted	true if sold via an accepted Best Offer. soldPrice is the asking price, not the actual transaction price.
buyingFormat	Richer buying-format enum: "auction" (bids only) · "buyItNow" (fixed price or best-offer) · "auctionWithBIN" (auction with a Buy It Now option) · null (undetermined)
bidCount	Number of bids received. null for fixed-price listings or when not shown.
shippingPrice	Shipping cost (null if not disclosed)
shippingCurrency	Currency of shipping price
shippingType	free · paid · pickup · unknown

thumbnailUrl	500px product image URL from i.ebayimg.com. null when only a promo or logo image is available on the search card.
fullResThumbnailUrl	High-res (1600px) product image URL, derived from thumbnailUrl. null when no product image is available. Best-effort — may 404 for listings where eBay only hosts a low-res image.
sellerUsername	Seller username (best-effort)
sellerPositivePercent	Positive feedback % (best-effort)
sellerFeedbackScore	Feedback count (best-effort)
sellerType	"private" or "business" on EU sites (ebay.de, .fr, .it, .es). null on non-EU sites or when the label is unrecognised.

🏷️ Completed Listings & Best Offer Accepted Detection

The includeCompletedListings input (default true) controls whether eBay's Completed Listings filter (LH_Complete=1) is sent alongside the always-present Sold filter (LH_Sold=1).

All results are genuinely sold items regardless of this setting — the LH_Sold=1 filter is always applied, so the actor never returns active or completed-but-unsold listings. This flag does not affect the sold/unsold guarantee; it only affects how accurately the actor can classify how an item sold.

Why the flag exists — an eBay HTML limitation

This is a limitation of eBay's own HTML, not a choice the actor makes. eBay only renders the signals needed to identify a Best Offer Accepted sale when the Completed Listings filter is active:

Signal on the search card	includeCompletedListings: true (LH_Complete=1)	includeCompletedListings: false (LH_Complete=0)
Best-offer text	"Best offer accepted"	"or Best Offer" (or nothing)
Price CSS class	strikethrough	bold
BOA detectable?	✅ Yes	❌ No

When LH_Complete=0, eBay strips the "Best offer accepted" text and the strikethrough price styling from the cards. Without those signals, a Best Offer Accepted sale is indistinguishable in the HTML from an ordinary Buy It Now sale — the actor cannot accurately detect Best Offer Accepted status for each listing.

What this means for the output

• includeCompletedListings: true (default): Best Offer Accepted sales are detected. listingType can be "best_offer_accepted" and isBestOfferAccepted can be true. (Note: even here, eBay does not disclose the actual accepted offer amount — soldPrice reflects the asking price for BOA items.)
• includeCompletedListings: false: BOA sales are reported as listingType: "buy_it_now" with isBestOfferAccepted: false. You still get every sold item and its sold price — you just lose the ability to know whether a given sale went through as an accepted Best Offer.

Set includeCompletedListings: false only if you want the search filter to match eBay's plain "Sold" view and don't rely on Best Offer Accepted classification.

Category IDs & Subcategory IDs

Pass a category ID as categoryId (main categories) or subcategoryId (subcategories) in your input. When subcategoryId is set it overrides categoryId — the output always reflects the effective category used.
