eBay Listings Scraper & Price Tracker

eBay Listings Scraper & Price Tracker – prices and sold counts, no personal data

eBay listings scraper and eBay price tracker: get eBay prices, condition, shipping, units sold and ratings for any keywords on 9 eBay marketplaces, as a clean table or through an API — no login. Use it as an eBay scraper for resale research, sourcing, competitor price monitoring and price alerts.

No login, no cookies, no personal data: nothing to sign in to, no cookies to paste, nothing about sellers, buyers or bidders in the output.

• What you get: one flat row per eBay listing for any keywords on 9 marketplaces: price and currency, strike-through price and discount, condition, buying format, shipping, ships-from country, units sold, rating, image, sponsored flag and link; a price-monitoring mode that returns only what changed since your previous run. No personal data.
• For whom: resellers and sourcing teams, price-tracking and competitive-intelligence tools, market analysts, AI agents through MCP.
• How much: from $2.50 per 1,000 listings on the Free plan, lower on paid plans; Apify's free monthly credit of $5 covers about 1,999 listings. A fixed price per listing saved and nothing else (compute and proxy traffic included, see the Pricing tab); maxResults caps every run.

Sample output: one real row from a "wireless earbuds" search on ebay.com, key columns only (the full row is under Output example):

{
  "platformProductId": "157236783307",
  "title": "Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds Headset Headphones Compatible with iPhone and Samsung",
  "currency": "USD",
  "price": 17.99,
  "soldCount": 866,
  "shippingFree": true,
  "shipsFrom": "US",
  "attributes": {
    "condition": "new",
    "conditionText": "Brand New",
    "listingFormat": "buy-it-now",
    "leafCategoryId": "80077"
  },
  "isSponsored": true,
  "searchRank": 1
}

Scrape eBay search results for any keywords on 9 marketplaces (ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.fr, ebay.it, ebay.es, ebay.nl, ebay.ca, ebay.com.au) and get one flat row per listing: price and currency, strike-through or list price and discount, condition (a normalized grade and eBay's label), buying format (Buy It Now, Best Offer, auction with bids and time left), shipping cost or free shipping, delivery estimate, ships-from country, units sold, product rating and number of ratings, main image, sponsored flag and position in the results. Sort by price, filter by condition, buying format, free shipping, price range, category, excluded words or item location, or paste your own eBay search URLs with their filters, and monitor prices: in price-monitoring mode a scheduled run returns only the new listings and the price changes since your previous run. This eBay scraper reads the public search pages without logging in, keeps one browsing session per search, removes duplicates and stops exactly at the number of listings you ask for.

No personal data, by design. eBay search results name sellers; this scraper does not. Seller pseudonyms, feedback scores, store names and anything about buyers or bidders are never collected: the rows contain listing facts only (the seller kind, business or private, when the marketplace shows it). Every row goes through a privacy filter before it is saved. The dataset is safe to store, share and feed to AI agents.

What can you do with eBay data?

• Track prices and discounts for a product on one or several marketplaces: price tracking, competitive intelligence, deal detection. With monitorPrices and onlyChanges on, a daily schedule gives you only the price drops, rises and new listings, and you pay only for those rows.
• Source products and spot winners: units sold, ratings, ships-from country, condition and buying format tell you what sells, from where and at what price, on ebay.com as on ebay.de.
• Study a market: what eBay ranks first for a keyword, how many listings are sponsored, the share of auctions, the price distribution and the shipping costs.
• Feed AI agents, spreadsheets and BI tools with a stable, documented schema shared by the other scrapers of this e-commerce studio (AliExpress Scraper uses the same columns), so listings from several marketplaces have the same columns.

What data does eBay Scraper extract?

Every row has every column: a value eBay does not show on the search card is null (or [] / {} for lists and objects), so CSV and Excel exports keep the same columns from run to run.

Group	Columns
Identity	schemaVersion, platform, platformProductId, variantId, url, title, brand, category, categoryPath
Prices	currency, price, originalPrice, discountPercent, inStock, stockQuantity
Popularity	rating, ratingMax, reviewCount, soldCount, isBestSeller, isChoice, listedAt
Seller	storeType, storeName, storeId, storeUrl, storeRating
Shipping	shippingFree, shippingCost, deliveryEstimate, shipsFrom
Media and attributes	imageUrl, imageCount, attributes
Search context	isSponsored, searchQuery, searchRank, searchPage, viewCountryCode, scrapedAt
Price monitoring	changeType, previousPrice, priceDelta, priceDeltaPercent (null unless monitorPrices is on, see below)

Search result cards show a subset of what a listing page holds. For this Actor, category, categoryPath, stockQuantity, isBestSeller, isChoice and listedAt are always empty, brand is filled only when the card's subtitle opens with the brand (phones, consoles: "Apple · iPhone 13 · 128 GB" gives Apple) and the title repeats it, inStock is always true (a listing in the results is active) and the seller columns stay empty by design (storeType is business or individual when ebay.de or ebay.fr say so on the card, unknown elsewhere; storeName, storeId, storeUrl, storeRating are always null). rating and reviewCount are filled on catalogued products only (about one card in four). variantId (the variation whose price is shown) and isSponsored come from a tracking block of the page that ebay.fr does not carry: both are null on French results.

attributes holds the facts of the card as flat strings, only the keys the card shows: condition (normalized grade: new, open_box, used, refurbished or for_parts) and conditionText (eBay's label as displayed: "Brand New", "Pre-Owned", "Certified - Refurbished", "Neu (Sonstige)", "Neuf"…), both absent when the card shows no condition label, listingFormat (buy-it-now, best-offer or auction), bids and timeLeft (auctions), priceMax (upper bound of a price range, price being the lower one), watchers, scarcity ("Last one", "Almost gone"), multiBuyDiscount, importFeesIncluded (true / false), freeReturns, priceWithCoupon, brandBadge ("Direct from Anker" gives Anker), authorizedDealerBadge, refurbishedProgram ("eBay Refurbished"), topRatedBadge, dealBadge ("GREAT PRICE") and leafCategoryId (eBay's numeric leaf category).

How to scrape eBay listings

1. Enter search keywords, one per line ("wireless earbuds", "laptop stand"), or paste eBay search URLs copied from your browser, with their category and filters (the URL's domain decides the marketplace).
2. Choose the marketplace: ebay.com (USD), ebay.co.uk (GBP), ebay.de, ebay.fr, ebay.it, ebay.es, ebay.nl (EUR), ebay.ca (CAD) or ebay.com.au (AUD). Prices, currency, shipping lines and the language of the cards are those of the site: prices come in the marketplace currency, because the proxy exits in the marketplace's country.
3. Set the maximum number of listings per search, the sort order (Best Match or price + shipping lowest first) and, if needed, the condition, buying format, free-shipping, price-range, category, excluded-words and item-location filters.
4. Run and open the Output tab: the Overview, Prices, Shipping and Ranking views show the main columns; export everything as JSON, CSV, Excel or through the API.
5. To follow prices, schedule the run and turn on monitorPrices with onlyChanges: every run after the first returns only what changed (see Price monitoring below).

Input

Give at least one keyword in searchQueries or one URL in startUrls (with nothing at all, "wireless earbuds" is searched). Field names and defaults are those of the input form.

The input of our validation run: the first 60 listings for "wireless earbuds" on ebay.com in eBay's Best Match order, read with the large page size (every other field keeps its default):

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "wireless earbuds"
  ],
  "marketplace": "US",
  "sortBy": "best-match",
  "resultsPerPage": "240",
  "maxResults": 60
}

Every field, with its type and default:

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["wireless earbuds"]	Search keywords, one search per entry, as typed in the eBay search box.
startUrls	string[]	[]	eBay search result URLs copied from your browser (/sch/i.html?_nkw=..., any eBay domain); their category and filter parameters are kept, the URL's domain decides the marketplace. Sorting and filters below are applied on top only when set.
marketplace	string	"US"	eBay site: US, UK, DE, FR (validated), IT, ES, NL, CA, AU (to confirm at the first runs). Decides the domain, the currency and the language of the results.
maxResults	integer	100	Stop each search after this many unique listings (1 to 1,000). You are never charged for more.
sortBy	string	"best-match"	best-match (eBay default) or price-asc (price + shipping, lowest first), both validated; price-desc, newly-listed and ending-soonest use eBay's URL parameters and are not verified yet.
condition	string	"any"	eBay's condition filter: any, new (validated) or used (not verified yet). Each card's condition is in attributes.condition (normalized grade) and attributes.conditionText (as displayed).
buyingFormat	string	"all"	eBay's buying-format filter: all, buy-it-now (validated) or auction (not verified yet). The format of each card is always in attributes.listingFormat.
freeShippingOnly	boolean	false	eBay's free-shipping filter (not verified yet). shippingFree tells what each card shows.
priceMin	number	—	Minimum price in the marketplace currency (eBay's filter, not verified yet).
priceMax	number	—	Maximum price in the marketplace currency (eBay's filter, not verified yet).
categoryId	integer	—	Search one eBay category only: its numeric id, e.g. 112529 (Headphones on ebay.com), the number after _sacat= or in /b/<name>/<id> of an eBay URL; attributes.leafCategoryId gives each row's leaf category. eBay's filter, not verified yet. A pasted URL keeps its own category unless you set one.
excludeWords	string[]	[]	Words or phrases the listings must not contain, one per entry (case, screen protector): added to the search words with eBay's minus sign (-case -"screen protector"), on pasted URLs too. eBay's search syntax, not verified yet.
itemLocation	string	"any"	Where the items are located: any (eBay default, no filter), domestic (the marketplace's country), continent (its continent or region) or worldwide. eBay's filter, not verified yet; shipsFrom tells where each listing ships from. A pasted URL keeps its own location filter unless you set one.
includeSponsored	boolean	true	Keep the sponsored listings mixed into the results (flagged in isSponsored) or skip them. On ebay.fr every listing is kept (no flag).
resultsPerPage	string	"240"	Listings requested per page: 240 (fewer requests, faster run), 120, 60 or default (eBay's mobile page of 32). A search whose first page with this setting is unusable twice falls back to default on its own.
maxPages	integer	50	Safety cap on result pages read per search.
monitorPrices	boolean	false	Compare every listing with the previous run of the same search (by listing id and marketplace) and fill changeType, previousPrice, priceDelta, priceDeltaPercent. maxResults then counts the listings compared per search.
onlyChanges	boolean	false	With monitorPrices: return and charge only the new listings and the price changes; a run without any change succeeds with an empty dataset. Off: every compared listing with its changeType.
monitorStoreName	string	"ebay-price-monitor"	Key-value store of your account that keeps the previous prices (one record per search). One name per schedule when two schedules run the same search with different settings; letters, digits and dashes.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}	The default proxy configuration (Apify proxies, RESIDENTIAL group) is the only one validated for eBay and its traffic is included in the price: keep it and leave the proxy country empty, the proxy then exits in the marketplace's country (a country you set is kept as is). Your own proxy URLs of the same kind are accepted.
maxRequests	integer	500	Safety cap on result pages fetched in one run, all searches included.
delayMs	integer	1500	Pause between two page requests of the same search, in milliseconds.
debugStoreHtml	boolean	false	Debugging only: store every fetched page in the key-value store.
debugSendAccept	boolean	false	Debugging only: send a browser-like Accept header (the validated requests sent only Accept-Language).

Output example

One real row, produced by the Actor from a "wireless earbuds" search on ebay.com (the first, sponsored card of the results page). All columns are present, in this order, for every listing:

{
  "schemaVersion": "ecommerce-product/1.1",
  "platform": "ebay",
  "platformProductId": "157236783307",
  "variantId": null,
  "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/157236783307",
  "title": "Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds Headset Headphones Compatible with iPhone and Samsung",
  "brand": null,
  "category": null,
  "categoryPath": [],
  "currency": "USD",
  "price": 17.99,
  "originalPrice": null,
  "discountPercent": null,
  "inStock": true,
  "stockQuantity": null,
  "rating": null,
  "ratingMax": 5,
  "reviewCount": null,
  "soldCount": 866,
  "storeType": "unknown",
  "storeName": null,
  "storeId": null,
  "storeUrl": null,

  "imageCount": 1,
  "attributes": {
    "condition": "new",
    "conditionText": "Brand New",
    "listingFormat": "buy-it-now",
    "leafCategoryId": "80077"
  },
  "isSponsored": true,
  "isBestSeller": null,
  "isChoice": null,
  "listedAt": null,
  "searchQuery": "wireless earbuds",
  "searchRank": 1,
  "searchPage": 1,
  "viewCountryCode": "US",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-20T00:00:00.000Z",
  "changeType": null,
  "previousPrice": null,
  "priceDelta": null,
  "priceDeltaPercent": null
}

price is the price displayed on the card (Buy It Now price, current bid of an auction, or the lower bound of a range whose upper bound is attributes.priceMax), shipping not included; originalPrice is the strike-through or list price ("UVP" on ebay.de) when shown, discountPercent the percentage off computed from it. soldCount is filled whenever the card shows a sales figure ("1,498 sold", "253 verkauft", "4 vendus"), as a lower bound when eBay rounds ("1,000+ sold" gives 1000), and null on cards without one (single items often have none). The last four columns are filled in price-monitoring runs only.

The Output tab offers five views of the same rows: Overview (title, price, currency, original price, discount, free shipping, shipping cost, units sold, rating, ships from, sponsored, link, image), Prices (listing and variant ids, price, original price, discount, currency, attributes with condition and format, seller kind, link), Shipping (free shipping, shipping cost, delivery estimate, ships from, marketplace country), Ranking (query, page, rank, sponsored flag, units sold, rating, ratings, marketplace country) and Changes (price-monitoring runs: change type, price, previous price, difference, currency, condition and format, units sold, query, marketplace, link).

Price monitoring

Turn on monitorPrices and onlyChanges, then schedule the run (daily is typical). The scraper keeps the last displayed price of every listing it compared in a key-value store of your account (monitorStoreName, ebay-price-monitor by default), with one record per search (same keywords or URL, marketplace, sort order, condition, buying format, free-shipping and price filters); a listing is identified by its item id and its marketplace. The first run of a search is the reference: every listing comes back with changeType = "new" (and RUN_STATS.monitorBaseline is true). From the second run on, with onlyChanges the dataset holds only the new listings and the listings whose price changed, with the previous price and the difference, and only those rows are charged; a run where nothing changed succeeds with an empty dataset. Without onlyChanges, every compared listing is returned with its changeType (new, price_changed or unchanged). In both cases maxResults is the number of listings compared per search.

A scheduled input that watches the 100 first "wireless earbuds" results of ebay.com in Best Match order:

{
  "searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "marketplace": "US",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "monitorPrices": true,
  "onlyChanges": true,
  "monitorStoreName": "earbuds-daily"
}

A price_changed row, as the Actor produces it from the row of the output example when the previous run had recorded 19.99 USD (the other columns are the same as above):

{
  "platformProductId": "157236783307",
  "title": "Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds Headset Headphones Compatible with iPhone and Samsung",
  "currency": "USD",
  "price": 17.99,
  "changeType": "price_changed",
  "previousPrice": 19.99,
  "priceDelta": -2,
  "priceDeltaPercent": -10
}

What to know before relying on it:

• The record is written only after a search that ended cleanly. A blocked, failed or empty search, a run stopped by its budget or an interrupted run never overwrites the reference, so a bad day cannot erase your prices; the log says when a record was kept unchanged (RUN_STATS.monitor counts the records written and skipped).
• Prices are compared as displayed, in the same currency. The Buy It Now price, the current bid of an auction or the lower bound of a price range is what gets compared, shipping excluded: an auction's bids therefore show up as price changes (filter on attributes.listingFormat if you track fixed prices). Every marketplace has one currency; a listing seen in another currency is reported unchanged and the new currency becomes the reference.
• Rankings move. eBay reshuffles results between sessions, so the set of compared listings (the first maxResults of each search) drifts a little from run to run; a listing that drops out of the results and comes back later is not reported as new (its last price is kept for 90 days). Sort by price or use a narrow search to get a stable set.
• One store per schedule when searches collide. Runs sharing a monitorStoreName share the records: two schedules with the same keywords, marketplace, sort and filters would overwrite each other's reference, so give them different store names. Changing the keywords, marketplace, sort or filters of a search starts a new reference for it. Delete the key-value store in Apify Console to start over.

How much does it cost to scrape eBay?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a fixed price per listing saved to your dataset, and nothing else. On the Free plan, listings cost $2.50 per 1,000, so Apify's free monthly credit of $5 covers about 1,999 listings; paid plans pay less per listing, and the price of every plan tier is on the Pricing tab of this page.

What you pay for	How it is counted	Price
result event: one listing saved to your dataset	once per unique listing of the run, capped by maxResults	Pricing tab, per plan tier
Run start	a symbolic amount, once per run	Pricing tab
Compute, proxies, storage and data transfer	included: no platform usage is passed on to you	—

The cost of a run is known before you start: 1,000 listings cost 1,000 times the result price of your tier, whatever the number of pages fetched. In price-monitoring runs with onlyChanges, only the new listings and the price changes are charged. A page takes about 2 to 3 seconds; a run of a few hundred listings takes under a minute with the default page size.

Limits and behaviour worth knowing

• Search results only. The Actor reads search result cards, not listing pages: item specifics, full descriptions, seller details, stock quantities and additional photos are not available (see the column notes above). Listing pages, sold / completed items (eBay shows them only to signed-in users, see the FAQ), category browsing pages, reviews and seller profiles are out of scope.
• 32 listings per page by default on eBay, 240 with the default setting. eBay's mobile page holds 32 listings (about 7 of them sponsored) plus two "Shop on eBay" placeholder cards that are skipped and counted in RUN_STATS.extra.decoysSkipped. With resultsPerPage at 240 the page holds about 207 listings; the 240 setting was validated once at build time and is confirmed at the first runs, with an automatic fallback to the default page size when the first page of a search with it is unusable twice (RUN_STATS.extra.ipgFallbacks).
• Rankings move and sponsored cards repeat. eBay reshuffles results between sessions (25 to 29 listings in common between two first pages of the same search) and repeats 3 to 4 sponsored cards from one page to the next. The scraper keeps one session per search (same proxy session, same cookies), removes duplicates by item id across the whole run, and stops at the last page, when two consecutive pages bring nothing new, or at maxResults / maxPages. searchRank counts every card of the page, sponsored ones included; RUN_STATS.extra.sponsoredSeen counts the sponsored cards seen.
• Sponsored flag. isSponsored comes from a tracking block of the page, not from the "Sponsored" label (which eBay prints on every card in an obfuscated form). ebay.fr pages carry no such block: their rows have isSponsored and variantId at null, and includeSponsored: false skips nothing there (RUN_STATS.extra.pagesWithoutContext counts those pages).
• The marketplace changes everything. The catalogue, the prices, the currency, the shipping lines and the language of the cards are those of the site: rows from different marketplaces are not comparable, and viewCountryCode tells which site each row comes from.
• Prices in the marketplace currency. eBay may convert prices into the currency of the visitor's country (www.ebay.com was once shown in KRW to a South Korean IP), so the proxy exits in the marketplace's country unless you set a proxy country. A page that still comes in another currency is asked again on a new session, 3 times at most; if it stays in that currency, its rows keep the currency they show and the log says so once per search (RUN_STATS.extra.currencyRotations, RUN_STATS.extra.pagesInOtherCurrency). Search URLs of several eBay sites in one run exit in the country of the first search.
• Sorting by price includes shipping. price-asc is eBay's "Price + Shipping: lowest first": the sum of price and shippingCost never decreases down the page, the price alone can (a range card sorts on its lower bound).
• Not verified yet. price-desc, newly-listed, ending-soonest, condition: used, buyingFormat: auction, freeShippingOnly, priceMin / priceMax, categoryId, excludeWords, itemLocation and the IT, ES, NL, CA and AU marketplaces use eBay's public URL conventions and were not exercised at build time (the start of the run log marks the new filters "to confirm at the first run"): they are marked as such in the input form and confirmed at the first runs. Check attributes.condition, attributes.listingFormat, attributes.leafCategoryId, shipsFrom, shippingFree, price and the titles in the output if you rely on them.
• Prices are as displayed. price does not include shipping; a price range gives its lower bound in price and its upper bound in attributes.priceMax; a coupon price is kept in attributes.priceWithCoupon; an auction's price is the current bid.
• Blocking. eBay decides request by request whether to serve a page, and its policy may change. If a page is unusable (403 "Error Page", "Checking your browser" challenge, page without results), the scraper opens a new session and retries once, then gives up on that search and reports it in the log. If a whole run is blocked, keep the default proxy configuration, raise delayMs and try again later; persistent blocking is fixed as a priority, open an issue with your run id.
• No empty successes. A run that finds no listing ends as failed with an explicit message (keywords misspelt, filters too strict, blocked, a search that eBay keeps for signed-in users, or a proxy configuration error), so that your schedules and integrations notice. The one exception is a price-monitoring run that compared listings and found no change: it succeeds with an empty dataset.

Integrations and API

Start the Actor from Apify Console, schedule it, or call it from the Apify API with any language (the API tab shows ready-made code for Node.js, Python and curl). Webhooks notify your systems when a run finishes; the dataset can be pulled as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS, or pushed to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack, Airtable, Google Drive and more through the Apify integrations.

Support: for bugs or questions, open an issue in the Issues tab of this Actor with your run id and input. Page-layout changes and blocking are fixed as a priority; feature requests (listing pages, other marketplaces of the studio) are welcome.

Use it from your AI assistant

Add this Actor as a tool to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client with the Apify MCP server URL below (sign in with your Apify account when asked):

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=myth84/ebay-search-scraper

Then ask in plain words. Copy this prompt and change the details:

Use myth84/ebay-search-scraper to find 20 brand-new laptop stands on eBay UK, cheapest first, prices in pounds. Input: {"searchQueries": ["laptop stand"], "marketplace": "UK", "condition": "new", "sortBy": "price-asc", "maxResults": 20}. Show the title, price, shipping, condition, units sold and link of each listing.

For AI agents (MCP)

Through the Apify MCP server this Actor is a tool that answers questions such as "what do wireless earbuds cost on eBay UK, in pounds, shipping included?" or "find brand-new laptop stands with Buy It Now on eBay US under 30 dollars".

Minimal input (every other field keeps its default; raise maxResults only when the question needs more rows):

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "laptop stand"
  ],
  "marketplace": "UK",
  "maxResults": 20
}

• Key output fields: platformProductId, title, url, price, originalPrice, discountPercent, currency, attributes.condition, attributes.listingFormat, shippingFree, shippingCost, shipsFrom, soldCount, rating, isSponsored, viewCountryCode; in price-monitoring runs changeType, previousPrice, priceDelta. Every column is always present, in a fixed order; null means eBay did not show the value. The full list is in What data does eBay Scraper extract? above.
• Use it when you need current eBay search results for keywords on a given marketplace: prices, discounts, condition, buying format, shipping, ships-from country, units sold, ratings, images, sponsored flags. Pass searchQueries (or startUrls), marketplace, optionally sortBy, condition, buyingFormat, freeShippingOnly, priceMin / priceMax, categoryId, excludeWords, itemLocation, and a small maxResults (20–60 is enough for an answer and fits in one page). To report price changes between two calls, pass monitorPrices: true, onlyChanges: true and a stable monitorStoreName.
• Do not use it for listing pages, item specifics, seller information, sold or completed items (eBay shows them only to signed-in users), reviews or anything behind a login: it only reads public search results and collects no personal data.
• Cost per 1,000 results: 1,000 result events, $2.50 per 1,000 on the Free plan and less on paid plans (Pricing tab); nothing else is charged (in price-monitoring runs with onlyChanges, unchanged prices are free).
• Typical time: 2 to 3 seconds per page: 20 listings in a few seconds, a few hundred in under a minute.

Alternatives and switching

• Official API. eBay's official developer APIs need a developer account, application keys and OAuth tokens, with call limits. This Actor reads what any visitor sees in eBay search results (public prices, condition, shipping, units sold, sponsored flags) with no account, no keys and no approval.
• Your own scraper. Nothing to build or maintain: sessions, retries, pagination, deduplication and eBay page changes are handled for you. The columns stay the same from run to run, a run that finds nothing fails with an explicit message instead of succeeding empty, and a scheduled test run catches eBay changes early.
• Another scraper from the Store. The input names differ from one Actor to the next; the usual ones map to this Actor as follows:

Usual input	Here	Note
search, query, keyword	searchQueries	Several keywords per run
startUrls	startUrls	eBay search URLs, filters included
maxItems, limit	maxResults	Unique listings per search, never charged beyond
site, domain, country	marketplace	US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, CA, AU
sort	sortBy	best-match, price-asc, price-desc, newly-listed, ending-soonest
condition, listingType	condition, buyingFormat	new or used; buy-it-now or auction
minPrice, maxPrice	priceMin, priceMax	In the marketplace currency
category	categoryId	eBay's numeric category id
excludeKeywords	excludeWords	One word or phrase per entry
locatedIn	itemLocation	domestic, continent or worldwide
sold, soldItems	—	Not available: eBay shows sold listings only to signed-in users
proxy	proxyConfiguration	Keep the default: proxies are included in the price

FAQ

Does eBay Scraper collect personal data?

No. Seller pseudonyms, feedback scores, store names, buyers and bidders are never collected, and the parts of the page that show them (related-item carousels) are never read. The rows contain listing facts only: prices, condition, format, shipping, units sold, ratings, images, position in the results, plus the seller kind (business or private) when the marketplace prints it. Every row goes through a privacy filter before it is saved.

Is it legal to scrape eBay?

The Actor only reads pages that eBay serves to any visitor without an account, and it stores no personal data. Scraping public data is generally lawful, but eBay's terms of use and robots policy restrict automated access, and you are responsible for how you use the results and for complying with the laws that apply to you (including copyright on listing texts and images). Use the data for analysis, not to republish listings.

Do I need proxies, and do I pay for them?

No extra setup: the default proxy configuration is the only one validated for eBay, and its traffic is included in the price per listing: you pay per listing, nothing more. Keep the default and leave the proxy country empty: the proxy then exits in the marketplace's country, so that prices come in the marketplace currency. Your own proxy URLs of the same kind are accepted too.

Which marketplaces, currencies and languages are supported?

Nine sites, one per marketplace value: ebay.com (USD, English), ebay.co.uk (GBP, English), ebay.de (EUR, German), ebay.fr (EUR, French), ebay.it (EUR, Italian), ebay.es (EUR, Spanish), ebay.nl (EUR, Dutch), ebay.ca (CAD, English) and ebay.com.au (AUD, English). The first four were validated at build time; the others follow the same page layout and are confirmed at the first runs. Titles and attribute texts are in the language of the site.

What are sponsored listings, and why is isSponsored sometimes null?

eBay mixes about 7 sponsored (promoted) listings into each page of 32 and repeats some of them on the next pages; they are flagged in isSponsored from the page's tracking block and can be skipped with includeSponsored. ebay.fr pages carry no tracking block, so French rows have isSponsored at null and every listing is kept.

What do the price, condition, units-sold and shipping columns mean?

price is the amount displayed on the card, shipping excluded: the Buy It Now price, the current bid of an auction, or the lower bound of a range ("$12.99 to $24.99") whose upper bound is attributes.priceMax. originalPrice is the strike-through price (or the "UVP" list price on ebay.de) when the card shows one, and discountPercent the percentage off computed from it. Coupon prices ("$123.29 with coupon") are kept in attributes.priceWithCoupon.

attributes.condition is the same on every marketplace: new, open_box ("Open Box", "New (Other)", "Neu (Sonstige)"), used ("Pre-Owned", "Gebraucht", "Occasion"), refurbished (every refurbished grade) or for_parts; attributes.conditionText keeps eBay's wording. On phones and consoles the card's subtitle often lists the brand and model instead ("Apple · iPhone 13 · 128 GB"): the brand then goes to brand, and the condition is left out rather than guessed when no condition label is shown. soldCount is the "N sold" figure of the card, null when the card shows none.

shippingCost is the delivery cost eBay shows to a buyer in the marketplace's country: listings sent from abroad can cost far more to ship. shipsFrom gives the country each listing ships from; to keep only local listings, set itemLocation to domestic (eBay's own filter, not verified yet) or paste a search URL with eBay's item location filter into startUrls (its filters are kept).

Can I filter by category or excluded words, or use my own eBay search URL?

Yes. categoryId limits a search to one eBay category (its numeric id, e.g. 112529 for Headphones on ebay.com; attributes.leafCategoryId of a row shows the id of its category), excludeWords removes the listings that contain a word or phrase ("case", "screen protector") with eBay's minus sign, and itemLocation keeps the items located in the marketplace's country, its continent or anywhere; these three filters are eBay's own and are confirmed at the first runs. You can also paste search result URLs (/sch/i.html?_nkw=...) from any eBay site into startUrls: their category and filter parameters are kept, the URL's domain decides the marketplace, and the filters you set in the input are applied on top. searchQueries can stay empty.

Can I get sold listings?

No. eBay shows sold and completed listings only to signed-in users, and this Actor never signs in: it reads only what eBay shows to any visitor, with no eBay account and no login cookies. A search URL with eBay's "Sold items" or "Completed items" filter (LH_Sold=1, LH_Complete=1) is refused at the start of the run with that explanation, and a search that eBay answers with its sign-in page is stopped with the same message. For what is selling now, soldCount gives the units sold of each active listing ("1,498 sold"), and price monitoring follows the prices of active listings from run to run.

Why do I get fewer listings than eBay announces, or the same listing twice across runs?

eBay announces tens of thousands of results but the usable depth of a search is smaller, its ranking changes between sessions and sponsored cards repeat from page to page: the scraper removes duplicates within a run by item id, which is why a page may yield fewer new listings than it holds, and stops when two pages bring nothing new. Across separate runs, use platformProductId to deduplicate.

How often should I run it, and how do I get only price changes?

Every run fetches live search results. Prices, auctions and rankings change by the hour, so schedule the Actor as often as your use case needs (daily is typical for price tracking) and compare runs by platformProductId, viewCountryCode and currency, or let the Actor compare them for you: turn on monitorPrices and onlyChanges, keep the default monitorStoreName (or one per schedule) and schedule the run. The first run records every listing of the search and returns it as new; each later run returns only the listings that appeared since and the listings whose displayed price changed, with previousPrice, priceDelta and priceDeltaPercent, and charges only those rows. A run without any change succeeds with an empty dataset. Keep the same keywords, marketplace, sort and filters from run to run. Turn onlyChanges off to get every listing with its changeType.
