E-commerce Scraper
Compare prices across eBay and Target in a single search — no coding needed.
- ✅ Search 2.5 billion+ eBay listings and Target's full retail catalog side by side
- ✅ Get prices, conditions, ratings, shipping, and images — all in one table
- ✅ Filter by condition (new, refurbished, used), price range, and Buy It Now
- ✅ Pay only for what you use: $0.003 per product listing
- ✅ Free $5 Apify credit on signup = ~1,666 product listings to start with
Checking eBay for the best deal on headphones, then opening a new tab to compare Target's price, then flipping back to see if the eBay seller has free shipping? That's the problem. This runs both searches in one click and puts everything in one spreadsheet.
What you can do with it
1. Compare marketplace vs retail prices in one search
Type a product name — get side-by-side pricing from eBay (where sellers compete on price and condition) and Target (where you get the fixed retail price with sale info). One search, two sources, one clean table.
To run this, all you fill in are two simple fields in the Apify input form at the top of this page:
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search | airpods pro or nintendo switch |
| How many results | 40 (split evenly across both sites) |
Click Start. Within about 30 seconds, the Actor searches both eBay and Target for your product and drops every result into a single table:
What you get back:
| Source | Title | Price | Condition | Rating | Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| eBay | AirPods Pro 2nd Gen MagSafe | $169.99 | Refurbished | 4.8 | Free shipping |
| eBay | AirPods Pro 2nd Gen - New Sealed | $189.99 | Brand New | 4.8 | Free shipping |
| Target | Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (USB-C) | $189.99 (reg $249.99) | New | 4.7 | — |
Now you can see at a glance: eBay has a refurbished pair for $169.99 with free shipping, a new pair at $189.99, and Target has the same thing at $189.99 but it's on sale from $249.99. One spreadsheet, all the info you need to decide where to buy.
Download the table as Excel, CSV, or JSON straight from the Apify dashboard, or pipe it into Zapier, Make, or a Google Sheet automatically.
2. Find reselling and arbitrage opportunities
eBay has 135 million active buyers and 2.5 billion live listings — including used, refurbished, and auction items that are often priced well below retail. Target sells the same products at fixed new-item prices. The gap between these two is where resellers find margin.
Search for a product category, filter eBay to "used" or "refurbished" condition, and compare against Target's retail price to see where the spread is:
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search | dyson v15 or kitchenaid mixer |
| Sites | Both (eBay + Target) |
| Condition filter | Refurbished (eBay only) |
| How many results | 60 |
What you get back:
| Source | Title | Price | Condition | Regular price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eBay | Dyson V15 Detect Absolute | $389.99 | Good - Refurbished | — |
| eBay | Dyson V15 Detect Complete | $419.00 | Excellent - Refurbished | — |
| Target | Dyson V15 Detect Absolute | $749.99 | New | $749.99 |
The eBay refurbished listing is $360 cheaper than Target's retail. For a reseller buying refurbished inventory to flip, that's a clear margin signal. Run this weekly on a schedule to catch new opportunities as they appear.
3. Track product pricing across channels over time
Run the same search on a weekly schedule and compare results to see how prices move. Are eBay sellers dropping prices? Is Target running a new promo? Are more refurbished units appearing? This is how e-commerce teams and independent sellers track the market without paying for a dedicated price monitoring tool.
Set up the Actor once with your product keyword, and use Apify's built-in Scheduler (or a Make/Zapier trigger) to run it automatically every week:
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search | sony wh-1000xm5 |
| Sites | Both (eBay + Target) |
| How many results | 40 |
| Sort by | Price: Low to High (eBay) |
What you get back (scheduled weekly):
| Source | Price this week | Price last week | Condition | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eBay (lowest) | $219.00 | $229.00 | Refurbished | Price dropped $10 |
| eBay (new) | $279.99 | $279.99 | Brand New | Stable |
| Target | $299.99 | $349.99 | New | New promo: $50 off |
A simple spreadsheet diff is enough to flag price changes worth acting on. You don't need Prisync at $99–399/mo for this — a scheduled Actor run costs pennies per week.
4. Research product demand and competition before selling
Before listing a product on eBay, Amazon, or your own Shopify store, you want to know: what are other sellers charging? What condition are most listings in? Are there more Buy It Now or auction listings? What's the typical rating? This Actor gives you that competitive snapshot in one run.
Search for the product you're considering and filter to Buy It Now only so you see fixed prices from competing sellers:
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search | iphone 15 pro max 256gb |
| Sites | eBay only |
| Buy It Now only | Yes (exclude auctions) |
| How many results | 100 |
What you get back:
| Title | Price | Condition | Offers? | Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB Unlocked | $899.00 | Brand New | Yes | Free |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB - AT&T | $749.00 | Pre-Owned | No | +$9.99 |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB Natural | $819.00 | Excellent - Refurbished | Yes | Free |
100 listings give you a clear picture of the price distribution, which conditions dominate, how many sellers offer free shipping, and whether best-offer negotiation is common. That's market research that Prisync charges $99/mo for — here it costs about $0.31 per run.
5. Use it from ChatGPT, Claude, or no-code automation
Ask your AI assistant a question like "compare the price of a PS5 on eBay vs Target" — it runs this Actor and returns real, current pricing data. Also works as a standard "Run Actor" step in Make, n8n, and Zapier.
Connect the Apify MCP server once in your assistant's settings (see the developer section below), and from then on you just ask questions in plain English inside the chat. Your assistant translates the question into the right Actor input and runs it for you:
What you enter (a plain-English question, not a form):
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search | ps5 slim |
| Sites | Both (eBay + Target) |
| How many results | 20 |
The assistant runs both searches and shows the results in the conversation, as a comparison table:
What your assistant gets back:
| Source | Title | Price | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| eBay | PS5 Slim Digital Edition | $369.00 | Brand New |
| eBay | PS5 Slim 1TB w/ Controller | $349.99 | Pre-Owned |
| Target | PlayStation 5 Slim Console | $449.99 | New |
You can follow up naturally — "which eBay listings have free shipping?" or "show me only refurbished options under $300" — and your assistant will filter without re-running the Actor.
How to use (no code required)
- Click "Try for Free" at the top of this page
- Type a product search — anything you'd search on eBay or Target (e.g.
gaming laptoporair fryer) - Choose which sites to search — both eBay and Target (default), or just one
- Set how many results you want (default is 60, split across sites)
- Optionally filter by condition (new/refurbished/used), price range, or Buy It Now only
- Click Start — results appear in the Dataset tab within a minute, ready to download as Excel, CSV, or JSON
That's the whole workflow — type, filter, start, download. If you've ever searched for a product on eBay or Target, you already know how to use this Actor. The only difference is that instead of browsing results one by one across two websites, you get them all in one spreadsheet you can sort, filter, and share.
The $5 free Apify credit you get on signup covers ~1,666 product listings — enough to run real price comparisons before spending anything.
What you get back
Each product listing comes back as one row in a table. Here's everything you'll see:
From eBay listings:
- Product title and eBay item ID
- Price in USD and listing type (Buy It Now or auction)
- Condition: Brand New, Refurbished, Pre-Owned, Parts Only
- Shipping: cost or "Free shipping" flag
- Rating and number of reviews
- Product image URL and direct link to the eBay listing
- Seller signals: whether the listing is sponsored, accepts Best Offers, or has a price badge (e.g. "GREAT PRICE")
From Target listings:
- Product title, brand name, and Target product ID
- Current price and regular (non-sale) price — so you can see the discount
- Rating and number of reviews
- Category and product description
- In-stock status and any active promotions (e.g. "Save $60 on select Apple products")
- Product image URL and direct link to the Target.com listing
Every row includes a source field ("ebay" or "target") so you can sort and compare easily. Download the table as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or send it directly to your CRM or Google Sheet through Make or Zapier.
Data sources
All data comes directly from eBay.com and Target.com — the same information you see when you search those sites. Every run is a live search, not a cached or pre-indexed snapshot. Results reflect the current state of each site at the moment the Actor runs.
- eBay: 135 million active buyers, 2.5 billion live listings, $79.6 billion GMV (2025). Covers new, used, refurbished, and auction items from millions of sellers.
- Target: ~280 million monthly visits, 1,500+ trusted brands. New retail products with fixed pricing, brand info, and promotional details.
Pricing
Pay per listing. No subscription.
Billing is simple: you pay a small fee each time you kick off a run, plus a per-listing fee for each product result the Actor returns. Both eBay and Target results are charged at the same rate.
| What triggers a charge | Cost |
|---|---|
| Actor start (each run) | $0.005 |
| Each product listing scraped | $0.003 |
To give you a feel for what this looks like in actual dollars for real-world searches:
Real-world cost examples:
| Scenario | Listings | Total cost |
|---|---|---|
| Quick price check: one product, both sites | 20 | $0.065 |
| Competitive research: 100 eBay listings for a product | 100 | $0.305 |
| Weekly market tracking: 200 listings across both sites | 200 | $0.605 |
| Full category scan: 500 listings | 500 | $1.505 |
The cost scales linearly — double the listings, double the cost. No tier thresholds, no surprise jumps.
$5 free Apify credit = ~1,666 listings — enough to run serious price research before you pay anything.
How this compares to the alternatives:
| Tool | Price | What you get | What you don't get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prisync | $99–399/mo (100–5,000 products) | Cross-platform price monitoring dashboard | No per-search pricing — you pay monthly even if you check once |
| Terapeak (eBay Seller Hub) | Free for sellers (basic) | eBay sales data, trending products | No Target data, no export, no automation, limited to eBay sellers |
| eBay Browse API | Free (5,000 calls/day) | Active eBay listings | No sold/completed prices, no Target data, rate-limited, requires developer setup |
| Other Apify eBay scrapers | $0.63–2.00 per 1,000 | eBay data only | No Target comparison in the same run |
| This Actor | $0.005/run + $0.003/listing | eBay + Target combined, pay-per-use, no subscription | — |
No annual contract. No subscription. No seat minimum. $5 free credit covers ~1,666 listings — start there.
If you run zero searches in a month, you owe zero dollars. Prisync still charges $99.
Connect to your tools
Use this Actor from any of the major no-code and automation tools. You don't need to write or edit any code — each tool has a built-in Apify connector that handles the wiring for you:
| Platform | How to connect |
|---|---|
| Make.com | Search "Apify" → "Run Actor" → use Actor ID lentic_clockss/ecommerce-scraper |
| n8n | Add Apify node → "Run Actor" → same Actor ID |
| Zapier | Apify integration → "Run Actor" trigger |
| ChatGPT / Claude / Cursor | Connect via Apify's MCP endpoint — your AI assistant calls this Actor directly inside a chat |
| LangChain, Python, custom code | Via Apify SDK or direct API call |
The three most common setups in practice:
- With ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor: connect once via MCP (configuration in the developer section below), then just ask questions in plain English — "compare AirPods Pro prices on eBay vs Target" — and your assistant runs the Actor and shows the results in the conversation.
- With Make or Zapier: set up a scheduled automation (for example: "every Monday, search for 'dyson v15' on both sites and write the results to Google Sheets"). Configure once, it runs forever.
- With n8n: same idea as Make and Zapier, with a self-hosted option if you need your data to stay on your own infrastructure.
When to use something else
This Actor is built specifically for product price comparison across eBay and Target. For anything outside that scope, here are the tools that fit better:
| If you need... | Use this instead |
|---|---|
| Amazon product data or pricing | An Amazon-specific scraper — this Actor doesn't cover Amazon |
| Walmart, Best Buy, or other retailers | Retailer-specific scrapers on Apify marketplace |
| eBay completed/sold listing history | Terapeak (free in eBay Seller Hub) — historical sales data is restricted from the public API |
| Real-time price monitoring with alerts | Prisync or Price2Spy — they're built for continuous monitoring dashboards |
| Local business contacts (dentists, plumbers) | Google Maps Scraper — different kind of data entirely |
| Company registration and officer data | Global Company Search |
FAQ
Q: Does this search both eBay and Target at the same time? A: Yes. By default it searches both sites in a single run and tags each result with a "source" field so you can tell which site it came from. You can also choose to search just one site if that's all you need.
Q: How fresh is the data? A: Each run is a live search at run time. Results reflect what eBay and Target show at that moment — not a cached or pre-indexed snapshot. If a price changed an hour ago, you'll see the new price.
Q: Can I filter eBay by condition (new, used, refurbished)? A: Yes. Use the condition filter to narrow eBay results to New, Refurbished, or Used only. You can also turn on "Buy It Now only" to exclude auction listings.
Q: How are results split across sites? A: The total number of results you set is divided evenly across the sites you selected. If you ask for 60 results on both sites, you'll get up to 30 from eBay and 30 from Target. If you search only one site, all 60 come from that site.
Q: What's the maximum number of results per run? A: 500 listings total. For most price comparison use cases, 40–100 listings is more than enough to see the full price range.
Q: Does Target work outside the US? A: Target.com is US-only — the Actor uses a US proxy to access Target's product data. eBay.com is also the US site. If you need other country eBay sites (ebay.co.uk, ebay.de), this Actor currently covers ebay.com only.
Q: Why not just use eBay's official API? A: You can — it's free. But it's limited to 5,000 calls per day, requires developer account approval, and doesn't include completed/sold listing prices (that data is restricted to select partners like Terapeak). This Actor has no daily call limit and doesn't require any developer setup.
