eBay Data Extractor

Scrape eBay at scale and get clean, structured data from search results, seller stores, category listings, and individual item pages on eBay. Just paste in eBay URLs, pick a mode, and get back a ready-to-use dataset of titles, prices, conditions, sellers, images, and full item specifics - no coding required.

🔎 What does eBay Data Extractor do?

This Actor turns eBay listing pages into structured, downloadable data. Choose from four modes:

Mode	What it scrapes
🔍 Search	Paginated search results for any keyword, including filters like category and Buy-It-Now
🏬 Store	Every listing from a seller's storefront
📂 Category	Every listing from a browse/category page like /b/PC-Laptops-Netbooks/177/...
📄 Item	A single item's full detail page - specifics, images, shipping, and returns. Accepts both /itm/<id> and /p/<productId>?iid=<id> URLs

Results are collected into a dataset you can preview instantly or download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

💡 Why use eBay Data Extractor?

🚀 How to use eBay Data Extractor

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.

Scraping sold listings

To get sold/completed listings, use eBay's own filter: on any search page, check "Sold items" under Show only, then copy that page's URL into Start URLs under search mode — no separate mode needed. eBay only keeps about 90 days of sold history, and results depend on your ship-to location, so enable Apify Proxy with US-based IPs for the most complete results.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape eBay?

This Actor uses simple, transparent pay-per-result pricing - you're only charged for the data you actually receive, not for compute time. Platform usage (compute, storage, bandwidth) is included free in every price below.

What you're charged for	Free	Starter	Scale	Business
Search / store / category listing scraped	$3.00 / 1,000	$3.00 / 1,000	$2.70 / 1,000	$2.40 / 1,000
↳ same, with residential proxy	$4.00 / 1,000	$4.00 / 1,000	$3.60 / 1,000	$3.20 / 1,000
Item detail page scraped	$5.00 / 1,000	$5.00 / 1,000	$4.50 / 1,000	$4.00 / 1,000
↳ same, with residential proxy	$8.00 / 1,000	$8.00 / 1,000	$7.20 / 1,000	$6.40 / 1,000
Actor start (flat, per run)	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005

A few things worth knowing:

• You're charged once per result - search, store, and category results are all billed as "listings," while item mode costs a bit more since it opens a full page for every item.
• Residential proxy costs more - about 1.6x on item mode. The default (datacenter) proxy works great for almost every run; only switch to residential if you're running into blocks.
• Your run automatically stops once it hits your spending cap or result limit, so costs never run away from you.
• The Apify free tier is enough to try the Actor out on a small run; Starter/Scale/Business plans unlock the discounted rates above automatically - no separate setup needed.

📌 Tips for best results

• Set limits: cap your max results and max pages to only what you need.
• Stay reliable: enable a proxy, especially for larger runs - eBay can be sensitive to high-volume traffic.
• Start small: test with a handful of URLs before scaling up to a full run.

❓ FAQ, disclaimers & support

• Is scraping eBay legal? This Actor only collects publicly accessible listing data (no login required, no personal data), which keeps it within generally accepted scraping practice.

• Can I automatically scrape full item details from a previous search/store/category run? Yes — set Mode to item and paste the earlier run's Run ID (visible in its Console URL or the Actor runs list) into the new Source run ID input. The Actor will fetch full details for every item that run found, no manual export needed.

• Can that happen automatically, without me copying run IDs by hand? Yes, using an Apify integration:

  1. Open eBay Data Extractor and set up your search - add your Start URLs.
  2. Click Save as a new task and name it something like Search then get details.
  3. Open the task and go to Integrations.
  4. Click Add integration and choose this same Actor.
  5. The input will be pre-filled for you - just double-check it, or switch on Residential proxy for more reliable results.
  6. Save the integration.

  That's it! From now on, whenever the search run finishes, the item run kicks off automatically using the item URLs it found.
