eBay Scraper

Scrape live eBay product listings across 17 country sites. Acquisition runs on a hosted Cloud Run worker (Patchright Chrome); this Actor handles input, Apify Residential proxyUrl, Dataset output, and PPE.

Architecture: this Apify Actor is a thin client. Scraping runs on the ebay-com Cloud Run worker over HTTPS + API key.

Worker URL is config, not code: the Actor reads WORKER_BASE_URL from Actor environment variables (plus optional per-run workerBaseUrl). If you migrate the worker to a new host, update WORKER_BASE_URL (and WORKER_AUTH if the API key changes) in Apify Console — no Actor code change required. Set WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1 when the worker supplies its own PROXY_URL instead of Apify RESIDENTIAL.

• Search by keyword on the selected eBay market
• Filter by L1 category (or any raw categoryId)
• Collect titles, prices, conditions, ratings, shipping, images, and listing URLs
• Optional Apify residential proxy with one bounded recovery retry on block / empty results

Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 runs total	Unlimited
Results per run (maxResults)	Up to 500	Up to 500

When the run cap is hit, the run finishes with a clear status message — not an Apify platform error. Paying Apify users are not subject to the run cap.

Need a dedicated scraper for one website?

This Actor is the general tool for protected public pages. If you already have one specific site and a field list, a dedicated scraper is faster and more stable: listing + detail, your export format, delivered to your Apify account or as a standalone runnable client.

I confirm the tier before you pay. The clock starts after that confirmation.

Start here: Submit a custom scraper request

	Starter $50	Dedicated $100	Hard target $200–999
Site	1 simple anti-bot public site	1 medium anti-bot public site	Cloudflare / aggressive anti-bot / custom parser
Scope	Full listing + detail fields	Listing + detail + pagination, your field list	Agreed fields, repeatable runs
Delivery	CSV/JSON · Apify Actor or standalone runnable client (script/CLI)	Same, plus a sample run and short instructions	Feasibility first, then build
Time	24 hours after we confirm the URL is in scope	48 hours after confirmation	Quoted after feasibility
Fixes	30 days for small public-layout changes	30 days	Scoped in the quote

Hard-target sites are not a 100% uptime promise. You get a dedicated parser that can be re-run on the agreed fields. If the URL is not feasible, you get a refund or pay an assessment fee only — you will know before the build starts.

Not in Starter/Dedicated: login-walled data, native APK / Windows installer / full web apps, or two-year maintenance. Those are a separate quote.

Lead & contact fields (seller leads)

Every dataset item carries the full lead-field set below. eBay is an intermediated marketplace: seller contact info (phone, email) is intentionally not public. What eBay does expose is seller identity (username / store / feedback) and a city-level item location — those are populated; everything else is reported as an explicit absence via leadAbsences instead of being silently omitted.

Field	Type	Meaning on eBay
person	{"name", "role"}	Seller identity: name = eBay username (e.g. cocosprinkles, refurb.kings), role = "seller". From the search card (leadSource=search) or the detail seller card (leadSource=detail).
org	{"name", "id"}	eBay store from the detail seller card (x-sellercard-atf): name = store display name (e.g. The Coco Store, iGerat Mobile), id = seller username. Also mirrored in sellerStoreName / sellerStoreUrl.
sellerPositiveRate / sellerFeedbackCount	number / integer	Feedback quality signals from the seller card, e.g. 99.9 (% positive) and 40649 (feedback count).
web	{"website", "socials"[]}	website = seller profile / store / feedback URL (/usr/{username} → /str/{slug}, fdbk/mweb_profile?username=…); socials always [] (eBay has none).
address	{"street","unit","locality","region","postalCode","country","full"}	Item location, city level only (e.g. Brooklyn, New York, United States; Osaka, Japan). street/unit(门牌)/postalCode always null — eBay never exposes street addresses. Search cards carry country only (locationCountry).
geo	{"lat","lng"} or null	Always null — eBay pages carry no coordinates.
phones	[]	Always [] — eBay does not display phone numbers anywhere (本站无).
emails	[]	Always [] — seller contact runs through eBay's intermediated messaging behind login (闸门锁).
leadSource	enum	Which surface produced the lead fields: search (listing card) or detail (item-page enrichment; enrichDetails is on by default).
leadReveal	enum	Always absent — eBay has no click-to-reveal contact controls at all.
leadAbsences	object	Per-subfield absence reasons, consistent with site research: 本站无 (site doesn't have it), 闸门锁 (login-gated), 未验证 (not verified this run).
sellerUsername / sellerStoreName / sellerStoreUrl / locationCountry / watchers	scalars	Per-surface raw seller fields the lead objects are built from.

Reveal cost (lead reveal economics)

• There is nothing to reveal on eBay. A six-surface probe (search, detail, store, seller/feedback, and contact paths) found zero click-to-reveal controls and zero reveal XHRs; phone/email strings never appear in the guest DOM or raw HTML. Hence leadReveal is always absent — the Actor performs no reveal clicks, and reveal cannot add cost or rate-limit pressure.
• Lead fields are a by-product of surfaces the Actor already visits: seller username/feedback from the search card is free; the full seller + store + item-location set comes from the optional detail step.
• Detail enrichment cost: when enrichDetails is enabled (default), each matched item costs one extra browser page load on the worker (Patchright Chrome + residential proxy). Runtime grows roughly linearly with the number of detail visits; there is no separate "reveal" step beyond that.
• The Actor never logs in, never submits forms, and never attempts to bypass eBay's intermediated-contact gate.

Honest limitations

Verified against site research (2026-08-29 recon report) and cloud smoke runs; leadAbsences on each item uses the same vocabulary:

• Phone numbers — 本站无. eBay exposes no phone numbers on any guest surface.
• Email addresses — 闸门锁. Seller contact is only possible through eBay's intermediated messaging system, which requires a login. This Actor stays in guest sessions and does not log in.
• Street address / 门牌 / postal code — 本站无. eBay item location is city/state/country level only.
• Social links — 本站无. Seller surfaces carry no social profiles.
• Geo coordinates — 未验证. Item pages carry no lat/lng; the field is always null.
• Item location on eBay.de detail pages — 未验证 (known gap). The detail-page item-location extractor matches the English "Located in" wording only; it does not yet match the German wording on ebay.de. DE detail items therefore ship address = all-null with leadAbsences.address.* = 未验证. The US detail chain is verified with real samples (Brooklyn, New York / Baltimore, Maryland). Search-level locationCountry still works on DE.
• Markets beyond US/DE — search surfaces 未验证. The coverage matrix marks US and DE search/detail as opened; the other 15 market sites' surfaces were not exercised in this mission and are not claimed as covered.
• Store and seller-feedback deep surfaces — 未验证. Store pages (/str/{slug}) and feedback profiles exist and are linked from web.website, but deep scraping of those surfaces was not exhausted during research.

Runtime behavior

• Acquisition: Cloud Run worker (ebay-com, Patchright + residential proxy)
• Proxy: off by default; one Residential recovery retry on block or zero results
• Memory: 1024 MB default (thin Actor; browser runs on the worker)
• Worker env: production WORKER_BASE_URL + WORKER_AUTH (secret @ebayWorkerApiKey)

FAQ

Q: Why did my free-plan run stop after 10 runs?
A: Free Apify plan users get 10 runs of this Actor and up to 500 results per run. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). When you hit the run cap, the run finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.
