eBay Product Scraper

Copying eBay products into a spreadsheet by hand is slow, and the page makes it harder than it should be. Sponsored cards sit next to real results, prices come in whatever currency the seller used, and the seller name is buried in small side text. This scraper reads a whole eBay search results page and hands back every product as a clean row: name, price, currency, condition, delivery, seller, and a direct link. Set up your search on eBay, copy the URL, paste it here, then export the lot as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

What you get

Each product on the search page becomes one tidy row with the same set of columns every time, so the output drops straight into a sheet or database. Fields that eBay doesn't show for a given listing come back as null rather than disappearing. You get:

• Product basics — itemNumber, productName, currentPrice, currencyCode, itemCondition, imageLink, productUrl
• Selling signals — deliveryInfo, shipsFrom, unitsSold, watcherCount, sponsoredFlag
• Seller — sellerHandle, sellerRating
• Run metadata — sourceUrl, collectedAt

Quick start

1. On eBay, search for what you want and apply any keyword, category, price, or sort filter.
2. Copy the search results URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Open the input form, paste it into eBay search results URL, and adjust Request timeout only if needed.
4. Press Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML once the run finishes.

Use cases

• Price tracking — pull a search every day and watch how prices and conditions shift over time
• Reseller sourcing — scan a niche for underpriced items, sold counts, and active watchers worth a bid
• Competitive research — see who is selling what, at which price, and how their listings are positioned
• Catalog building — turn a category search into a structured product list with images and links
• Market sizing — measure how many listings, sellers, and conditions exist for a product line
• Dropshipping research — gather candidate products with prices, shipping notes, and seller handles in one pass

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchPageUrl	string	Yes	The eBay search results URL to read. Build it on eBay with your filters applied, then paste the link. One results page is read per run.
timeoutSeconds	integer	No	Seconds to wait for the page before giving up on a request. Default 45; raise it if you see timeouts.

Example input

{
    "searchPageUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mechanical+keyboard&_sop=12",
    "timeoutSeconds": 45
}

Output

Every product found on the search page becomes one row, and all fields are present on each row — anything eBay didn't display comes back as null so the dataset stays rectangular.

Tips for best results

• Filter on eBay first. Set category, price band, condition, and sort order on eBay before copying the URL — the scraper reads exactly what that page shows.
• Sort by newest with _sop=12. Adding it to the URL puts the freshest listings at the top, which is handy for daily price tracking.
• Expect some empty cells. unitsSold, watcherCount, and shipsFrom only fill in when eBay prints them on the card; a null there is normal, not a failure.
• Watch the sponsored flag. Sponsored cards sit alongside organic results; filter on sponsoredFlag if you want only the unpaid listings.
• Raise timeoutSeconds on a slow run. If a run reports timeouts, bump it toward 90 and try again.

How can I use eBay product data?

How can I use the eBay Product Scraper to track prices over time? Save the search URL for the product you care about, run the scraper on a schedule, and keep each day's output. Comparing currentPrice, itemCondition, and unitsSold across runs shows you how a market moves — useful for repricing your own listings or timing a buy.

How can I find profitable products to resell from eBay search results? Search a niche, sort by newest or by best match, and run it. The rows give you currentPrice, deliveryInfo, unitsSold, and watcherCount side by side, so you can spot items that are selling well or drawing watchers and judge margins before you bid or list your own.

How can I export eBay listings to a spreadsheet without copying them by hand? Paste your eBay search URL, press Start, and download the dataset as CSV or Excel. Every product on the page lands as a row with name, price, currency, condition, seller, and a direct link — a full export of the search in one run, no manual copy-paste.
