eBid Marketplace Scraper — Auction & Buy-Now Listings
Scrape listings from eBid.net, a long-running eBay alternative marketplace. Pull auction and fixed-price ("buy now") listings by category for cross-marketplace arbitrage, price research, and resale sourcing.
What it does
- Browses eBid category and subcategory pages and extracts every listing card
- Follows pagination automatically (
/pageN.htm) - Optionally opens each listing page for richer fields (exact condition, location, close time, full price)
- Works across eBid country storefronts (US, UK, CA, AU, NZ, IE)
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
startUrls | array | eBid category/subcategory browse URLs (e.g. https://www.ebid.net/us/buy/collectibles/) or individual listing URLs. The reliable entry point. |
category | string | Convenience alternative — a category slug under /buy/, e.g. collectibles, electronics, jewelry-watches. |
searchQueries | array | Best-effort keyword search. eBid's keyword search sits behind a bot-challenge and usually needs residential proxies; prefer category browsing. |
country | string | eBid storefront: us, uk, ca, au, nz, ie. Default us. |
maxResults | integer | Max listings to scrape (0 = unlimited up to ~5000). Default 50. |
scrapeDetails | boolean | Open each listing for exact condition, location, and close timestamp. Slower, richer. Default false. |
proxyConfiguration | object | Optional proxy. Recommended for large runs and keyword search. |
Example input
{"startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.ebid.net/us/buy/collectibles/disneyana/contemporary-1968-now/" }],"maxResults": 100,"scrapeDetails": true,"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }}
Output
Each listing produces a record:
{"listingId": "188807419","title": "1969 House of Cartridges Cartridge Collector Catalog","price": 9.0,"currency": "USD","listingType": "auction-buynow","condition": "Used","location": "United States","timeLeft": "06 days 18 hrs","closeTime": "Thu 02 Jul 2026 00:48:11 (EDT)","listingUrl": "https://www.ebid.net/us/for-sale/...-188807419.htm","imageUrl": "https://pic.ebid.net/upload_big/...jpg","scrapedAt": "2026-06-24T05:48:11.000Z"}
listingType is one of auction, buy-now, or auction-buynow (eBid often allows both on one listing). condition, location, and exact closeTime are only populated when scrapeDetails is enabled (the category grid provides a relative timeLeft instead).
Notes
- Uses HTTP + Cheerio (fast). Category browsing requires no proxy.
- Keyword search via eBid's CGI endpoint is protected by an anti-bot challenge and may fail without residential proxies — category Start URLs are the dependable path.
- Respect eBid's Terms of Service and rate limits.
