eBay Scraper: Search & Sold Listings (No Ads)

Turn any eBay search into clean, structured data. Search directly by keyword or paste a custom eBay URL across 8 global marketplaces. Extract prices, seller reputation, auction bids, and confirmed sold comps — with zero ad distortion.

Why choose this Actor? (3 Killer Features)

1. Zero Ad Distortion (is_sponsored)

On eBay, the top 4–8 search results are often paid advertisements. If you are building automated pricing feeds, price trackers, or reseller comps, sponsored placements heavily distort your market benchmarks. Every result in this Actor includes is_sponsored: true/false, allowing you to strip out promoted ads with a single filter.

2. Confirmed Sold Comps & Real Sold Dates (sold_date)

Asking prices show what sellers hope to get; sold prices reveal what buyers actually paid. Switch Listing Mode to Sold & Completed Listings to extract verified transaction prices, final bids, and exact ISO sold dates (sold_date: "2026-07-13"). Perfect for eBay flippers, sneaker traders, and arbitrage analysis.

3. Clean Numeric Prices (price_value)

Raw price strings like "$1,249.99" or "GBP 45.00" require tedious regex parsing. This scraper delivers both the formatted string and a sanitized numeric float (price_value: 1249.99), ready for immediate math, database queries, and charting.

How to use

Method 1: Search by Keyword (Recommended — 3 Seconds)

No need to visit eBay. Just enter a keyword in the Apify Console:

{
  "keyword": "iphone 15 pro",
  "marketplace": "US",
  "listingMode": "sold",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Method 2: Paste Any Custom eBay URL (Advanced Filters)

Have category-specific filters, carrier locks, storage size, or specific seller constraints?

1. Open ebay.com (or any regional site like ebay.de, ebay.co.uk).
2. Apply your filters and sort order.
3. Copy the URL and paste it into startUrl.

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=iphone+15&Network=Unlocked&Storage%20Capacity=256GB&LH_BIN=1",
  "maxResults": 100
}

When startUrl is provided, all URL filters are preserved exactly as-is and take precedence.
