eBay Sold Listings Scraper — Price Comps & Analytics

Scrape eBay sold/completed listings and get an instant price-analytics report in one run: average, median, min/max, percentiles, sell-through velocity, weekly price trend, and breakdowns by condition and listing type. Built for resellers, dropshippers, and AI agents that need to answer one question fast — "what does this actually sell for?"

What you get

Every run returns two kinds of records in the dataset:

1. Sold-item rows — one per completed eBay sale (title, sold price, currency, condition, sold date, listing type, bids, shipping, item URL).
2. One analytics report — a single summary record (_isAnalyticsReport: true) computed across the whole sold sample.

When to use this actor

• Pricing an item before you list it ("what's the real market price for used AirPods Pro 2?").
• Sourcing decisions — is this product selling, and at what margin?
• Repricing and competitive monitoring against actual sold data, not asking prices.
• Feeding an AI agent structured price comps for a buy/sell decision.

Not for active listings or product details. For current live listings, seller info, or item specifics across active + sold + detail modes, use the eBay Scraper — Listings, Sold Prices & Sellers. This actor is sold-data + analytics only.

Pricing (pay-per-event)

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Sold item scraped	$0.005 / item
Analytics report	$0.05 / run

A typical run of 50 sold items with the report costs about $0.30. Set includeReport: false to skip the report fee and pay only per item. maxItems is a hard cap — billing never exceeds it.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
searchQuery	string	airpods pro 2	Keyword; sold+completed filter added automatically
startUrls	array	—	eBay search URLs (forced to sold mode); overrides searchQuery
marketplace	enum	ebay.com	8 markets: US/UK/DE/FR/IT/ES/CA/AU
maxItems	int	50	1–1000, hard billing cap
condition	enum	any	any / new / used / refurbished / open_box
daysBack	int	—	Keep only items sold in last N days (≤90)
minPrice / maxPrice	int	—	eBay price filter, local currency
sortBy	enum	newest	newest recommended for current pricing
includeReport	bool	true	Append the analytics report

Example

{
  "searchQuery": "rolex submariner",
  "marketplace": "ebay.com",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "condition": "used",
  "daysBack": 30,
  "includeReport": true
}

How it works

• PlaywrightCrawler (Chromium) with browser fingerprints — eBay blocks raw HTTP at the TLS layer, so a real browser is required.
• Country-pinned Apify Residential proxy — a US IP hitting ebay.de looks like a bot, so the proxy country matches the marketplace.
• WARMUP priming — each run primes a residential session against /robots.txt before hitting the search page, which cuts first-request blocks.
• Circuit breaker — after 3 consecutive blocks with zero results, the run exits cleanly (you pay only the start fee) instead of burning proxy budget.
• Resource blocking — images/fonts/CSS/media are aborted for ~3× faster page loads.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This actor is exposed in the Apify MCP server as apify--ebay-sold-comps-analytics-scraper. Pass a searchQuery and read back the analytics report record for a one-shot price comp — ideal for agents making buy/sell or repricing decisions.

FAQ

How far back does sold data go? eBay exposes roughly the last 90 days of sold/completed listings. daysBack filters within that window; it cannot retrieve older sales.

Why are some soldDate values null? eBay does not render a sold date on every card variant. Those items still count toward price stats but are excluded from velocity/time-trend math.

Why did a run return 0 items? eBay rate-limits residential proxies transiently. The run exits with a clear status message (no hard failure) — retry, lower maxItems, or wait 10–15 minutes.

Does it scrape active listings? No — sold/completed only. Use the all-in-one eBay scraper for active listings and product detail.

Multiple currencies in one report? The report uses the most common currency in the sample. Pin a single marketplace to keep currency consistent.
