What makes this actor worth using?

Most eBay scrapers give you a title and a price. This one gives you the full picture:

• Item title, ID, and clean listing URL — no tracking junk in the links
• Current price + original crossed-out price — so you can see the real discount at a glance
• Item condition — New, Used, Refurbished, and everything in between
• Seller name and feedback score — know who you're dealing with before you commit
• Shipping info and delivery estimate — free shipping or $12 ground? It's all there
• Item location — filter your results by geography in your own pipeline
• Sold count and watcher count — real demand signals, not guesses
• Auction details — bid count and time remaining for live auctions
• Sponsored flag — easily separate paid ads from organic listings
• Ratings and review count — see what buyers think before you analyze
• Program badge — eBay Refurbished, Certified, Top Rated, etc.

Every record also carries a scrapedAt UTC timestamp so you always know exactly when the data was captured.

Who is this for?

Price trackers

Schedule this actor to run once a day on a product you care about. Watch prices move over time. Know the exact moment something drops to your target price. No manual checking, ever.

Dropshippers & resellers

Find products with high sold counts and strong watcher numbers — those are your winners. Filter to newly_listed to catch fresh inventory before competitors do. Use the sponsored flag to focus only on organic demand.

Competitor researchers

See what's selling in your niche, at what prices, and from which sellers. Check their feedback scores. Understand the market before you list a single item.

Analysts & developers

Get clean, structured data you can immediately import into any tool. Use the scrapedAt timestamp to build time-series charts. Filter by currency, condition, or programBadge to slice the data your way.

---

Pagination

No extra configuration needed. The actor automatically pages through results until it hits your maxItems limit or eBay runs out of listings. eBay typically shows around 60 listings per page, so a maxItems of 300 means roughly 5 pages fetched automatically.

---

Good to know

• Dummy listing skipped automatically — eBay injects a fake promotional card into every search page. The actor detects and quietly discards it so your dataset stays clean.
• Sponsored listings are included but flagged — they appear in your results with "sponsored": true, so you can keep or filter them as you see fit.
• Auction listings come with "isAuction": true and include bidsCount and timeLeft where eBay displays them.
• Images are upgraded — thumbnail URLs are automatically promoted to 500 px resolution for better quality.
