eBay Sold Listings Scraper - Sold Prices & Dates

Get eBay sold and completed listings by keyword: the real sold price, sale date, shipping, condition, bids, listing type, photo and item link, from 8 eBay sites. eBay shows sold results only to signed-in users, so you choose the access: your own eBay session (cookies from your browser) or your own key from a sold-data API.

A first run with the prefilled search iphone 13 and your eBay session saves 20 sold listings in about 10 seconds and costs about $0.10. Without your cookies or an API key the run stops at once with a message about what to paste (you pay only the $0.005 start).

What it does

You give one or more search words, like you type them on eBay. The Actor opens the eBay Sold items search for each word and saves one row for every sold listing: price, sale date, shipping, condition, number of bids, listing type, photo and link. You can filter by price, condition, buying format and sale date.

eBay shows sold listings only to signed-in visitors. The Actor does not create accounts and does not sign in for you. It reads the data in one of two ways:

Data source	How it works	Who pays the data	eBay sites
My eBay session (default)	You paste the cookies and User-Agent of your own browser where you are signed in to eBay. The Actor reads the eBay sold search pages with your session.	Free (only this Actor's price)	all 8
Your API key	You paste your own key from one of 5 sold-data services. The Actor calls that service and turns its answer into the same rows.	You pay the service directly	see the table

Good fit

• Resellers and flippers: check what an item really sold for before you buy or list it.
• Price research and appraisal: collect recent sold prices for a model, with condition and date.
• Market analysts: compare auction and Buy It Now prices, or watch how prices change week by week with a schedule.

Not a fit / limits

• Only sold and completed listings. For active listings use eBay search or another Actor.
• eBay shows mostly the last 90 days of sales; a few older sales can appear. You cannot ask for older periods.
• With your eBay session, the seller name is not shown on eBay's sold result cards, so seller is null. Paid shipping is often not shown either; then shipping is null (it is 0 for free shipping). Some API sources return them.
• We tested your eBay session live on ebay.com, and API keys live on ebay.com, ebay.co.uk and ebay.de. The other sites use the same page format but were not tested live with a session.
• For an accepted best offer, eBay hides the real amount. The row shows the listed price and priceType = best_offer_listed.
• The field names are this Actor's own. They are not the same as other eBay sold Actors, so check your integration after you switch.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab. The search iphone 13, the site ebay.com (US) and Max sold listings per query = 20 are already filled in.
2. Keep Data source = My eBay session. Paste your eBay cookies and your browser User-Agent (see the guide). Or pick an API service and paste your API key.
3. Click Start.
4. Open the Output tab. You see the Sold listings table with title, sold price, date, condition and type.

Expected result: 20 rows of sold iPhone listings from ebay.com, mostly newest sales first.

How to get your eBay cookies and User-Agent

Use the browser where you are already signed in to the eBay site that you want to search (for example ebay.com). The cookies and the User-Agent must come from the same browser.

Cookies

1. Install the free Cookie-Editor extension: Chrome, Firefox, Edge.
2. Open the eBay site (for example https://www.ebay.com) and check that you see your name at the top: you are signed in.
3. Click the Cookie-Editor icon in the toolbar.
4. Click Export at the bottom, then JSON. The cookies are now copied.
5. In the Actor input, paste them into eBay cookies (ebayCookies).

User-Agent

1. In the same Chrome, open chrome://version in the address bar.
2. Copy the full User agent line, for example Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/….
3. In Firefox or Safari, open a "what is my user agent" page and copy the text.
4. Paste it into Browser User-Agent (userAgent).

Keep your session safe

• Both fields are secret: Apify stores them encrypted. The Actor deletes its copy of the input when the run starts and never writes cookies to the log or the results.
• The Actor only reads search pages. It never buys, bids, sends messages or changes your account.
• It reads one page at a time with 2.5–5 seconds between pages and 6–12 seconds before each new search, from one residential IP in the site's country.
• Automated reading can still make eBay show a security check (captcha) or sign you out. Use a modest number of searches per run (we tested up to 20). If eBay shows a check, the run stops at once to protect the account. Use it at your own risk.
• Cookies expire. When eBay signs you out, export them again.
• eBay's User Agreement limits automated access to its site. You decide whether to use your account this way and you are responsible for it.

Sold-data API services (bring your own key)

Pick one service, create an account on its site, copy your API key from its dashboard and paste it into API key (apiKey). You pay the service directly; this Actor only adds its own small fee per page (see Pricing). The Actor reads your remaining quota first (where the service shows it) and never asks for more than is left.

Service (dataSource)	Free plan	Cheapest paid plan	Rows per request	About $ per 1000 rows	eBay sites	Sign up
CompSniper (compsniper)	100 requests / month	$9 / month for 2,000 requests	up to 240	$0.02–0.08	all 8	pricing, sign up
trawl (trawl)	250 credits / month	$20 / month for 3,000 credits	up to 100 per credit	about $0.07	com, co.uk	pricing, sign up
OpenWebNinja (openwebninja)	100 requests / month	$25 / month for 10,000 requests, or $0.005 per request	up to 60	about $0.04–0.08	all 8	pricing
eBay Sold Listings API (esl)	50 requests / month	$9.99 / month for 3,000 requests	up to 240 (we saw 24–60)	$0.01–0.14	all 8	pricing, sign in
SoldComps (soldcomps)	100 requests / month	$9 / month for 2,000 requests, or $3 per 1,000 requests	up to 240	$0.01–0.02	all 8	pricing, sign up

Prices as of October 15, 2026, when this Actor was prepared. Check the current prices on the provider's site. Each service has its own terms of use, and some (for example SoldComps and OpenWebNinja) limit reselling or bulk export of their data. Read them before you use the data in your product.

How to get a key (same idea for every service): sign up on the service's site → open its dashboard or API keys page → create or copy the key → paste it into apiKey and choose the same service in Data source.

Input examples

First run (prefill)

{
  "queries": ["iphone 13"],
  "site": "com",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "dataSource": "ebayCookies",
  "ebayCookies": "[{\"name\":\"...\",\"value\":\"...\",\"domain\":\".ebay.com\"}]",
  "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/… Safari/537.36"

Run summary

Every run also writes a RUN_SUMMARY record in the Key-value store. It shows the status of each search (complete, no_results, error), how many rows were saved or skipped (duplicates, older than soldWithinDays, title mismatch), why the run stopped, the pages read and, for an API source, your quota before and after.

Situation	What you get	What to do
Normal	rows in the Dataset, status COMPLETE	open the Dataset
No sold listings for the search and filters	0 rows, status NO_RESULTS, run Succeeded	widen the filters or check the words
Stopped early (your max cost per run, run time limit, API quota)	saved rows, status PARTIAL with the reason, run Succeeded	raise the limit or lower maxItems
Session expired, captcha, wrong key, source down	saved rows (if any), clear error, run Failed	see Troubleshooting

Pricing and limits

This Actor uses pay per event. You pay for what the Actor did; Apify platform usage is included.

Event	When it is charged	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold+
Actor start	once per run (per GB of memory; default 1 GB)	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005
Sold listing	each row saved to the Dataset	$0.0036	$0.0032	$0.0027	$0.00225
eBay results page	each eBay sold search page read with your eBay session (up to 240 listings), even if your filters keep none	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
API results page	each results page read from your API service	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005

Why a page fee: one eBay page is about 2–4 MB through a residential IP in the site's country. That cost is the same when your filters keep 0 rows. Blocked or failed requests are not charged.

The API services charge you separately with your own key (see their prices above).

Cost examples (Free plan, your eBay session)

Run	Pages	Rows	Price
Prefill: 1 search, 20 rows	1	20	$0.005 + $0.02 + $0.072 = $0.097
1 search, 100 rows	1	100	$0.005 + $0.02 + $0.36 = $0.385
1 search, 1000 rows	5	1000	$0.005 + $0.10 + $3.60 = $3.705
5 searches, no sold listings match	5	0	$0.005 + $0.10 = $0.105

• Max cost per run: set it in the run options. The Actor stops before a page or row it cannot pay for, keeps what it saved and ends Succeeded with status PARTIAL.
• Failed run: you pay only the start and the pages that were really read before the stop.
• Limits we tested: up to 4000 rows in one run (about 7 minutes) and 20 searches in one run. eBay usually gives about 2000 sold rows per search (9 pages). A run stops reading at 30 minutes and saves a summary.
• Speed: about 240 rows in 5 seconds; 1000 rows in about 30 seconds (1 GB memory). Each new search waits 6–12 seconds.

API, export and integrations

• API: start a run with POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~ebay-sold-listings/runs and the input JSON; read rows from the run's Dataset.
• Export: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the Output tab.
• Scheduling: create a Task with your input and add a schedule (for example weekly with soldWithinDays: 7).
• Webhooks / no-code: send the Dataset to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or n8n with Apify integrations.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

• MCP server with only this Actor: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cliqtomedia/ebay-sold-listings
• Smallest useful input (the agent also needs the user's secret access fields):

{ "queries": ["iphone 13"], "site": "com", "maxItems": 20, "dataSource": "ebayCookies" }

• Key output fields: soldPrice (sale price without shipping), currency, soldAt (sale date), condition, listingType (auction, buy_it_now, best_offer).
• A 20-row run takes about 10 seconds and costs about $0.10 on the Free plan. Keep maxItems small; each row is paid. The run needs the user's own eBay session or API key; without them it stops with a clear message.

Troubleshooting

"eBay asked to sign in: the cookies are expired or signed out"

Symptom: the run fails at the first page. Reason: eBay ended the session, or you exported the cookies while signed out. Action: sign in to the eBay site in your browser, export the cookies again and paste them.

"eBay refused the request or showed a security check (captcha)"

Symptom: the run stops after some pages; saved rows stay in the Dataset. Reason: eBay wants to check that a person is using the account. Action: open the eBay site in the same browser, pass the check, export fresh cookies and keep the same User-Agent. Use fewer searches per run.

"eBay showed active listings instead of sold ones"

Reason: the session is not signed in, so eBay ignored the Sold filter. Action: export the cookies again while signed in.

The cookies are for another site

Symptom: the run fails in 1 second with a message about the site. Action: pick the same site as the eBay site of your cookies, or export cookies from the site you want.

"did not accept your API key" or "has no requests left"

Action: copy the key again from the service dashboard, or top up your plan on the service's pricing page. The Actor checks the quota before it starts and never asks for more than is left.

0 rows with status NO_RESULTS

This is a normal result: eBay has no sold listings for these words and filters in the last 90 days. Remove a filter or use shorter words. You pay the start and the pages read.

FAQ

Do I need an eBay account?

Yes, for the default My eBay session source: eBay shows sold listings only to signed-in users. If you do not want to use your account, use an API service with your own key.

Is it safe for my eBay account?

The Actor only reads search pages, slowly, from one IP in your site's country, and stops at the first security check. It never buys or changes anything. But any automated use can draw eBay's attention, so use it at a modest volume and at your own risk.

Why is shipping or seller empty?

With your eBay session, eBay's sold result cards do not show the seller and often do not show the paid shipping amount. The Actor writes null instead of guessing. Some API sources return them.

How fresh and complete is the data?

Rows come live from eBay (or the API) at run time, mostly newest sales first (eBay's own sort). eBay keeps mostly 90 days of sales and shows at most about 2000 results per search; use narrower words or filters for more.

Why do I see other models (for example iPhone 12) for "iphone 13"?

eBay's own search also returns related items. Turn on strictTitleMatch to keep only titles with every word.
