Listing Scraper for eBay - Prices, Item Details & Seller Leads

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by eBay Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "eBay" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Extract active listings, full item details and seller leads from eBay, the world's largest auction and marketplace site. Search by keyword, paste any eBay search, item, seller or store link, or list seller usernames, on 10 marketplaces (US, UK, DE, AU, CA, FR, IT, ES, NL, IE).

Every listing comes with its price, condition, shipping cost, auction bids and time left, sold count, watchers, item location, the seller and their feedback, a full-size photo and whether it is a sponsored placement. Turn on item details for every item specific (brand, model, MPN, UPC/EAN, size, colour and the rest), the return policy, payment methods, category path, listing dates and the seller's own description. Seller leads add feedback, items sold, followers, location and member-since, and for business sellers on the European and UK sites, the business contact details eBay publishes (company, contact name, address, phone, e-mail, VAT number).

No login and no API key: eBay's own public pages, parsed into clean, structured JSON.

This Actor does not scrape sold / completed listings. eBay shows that view only to signed-in accounts, so it is not offered here. The demand signal you do get is soldQuantity: how many units a live listing has already sold, plus watchers.

Why this scraper for eBay data?

• 70+ fields per item: every item specific, condition notes, return policy, payment methods, location, category path, listing dates, description
• The full Item specifics table exactly as the listing shows it, plus brand, model, MPN, GTIN and colour as their own columns
• 10 marketplaces parsed in their own language: German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch conditions, shipping, bids and seller lines, prices read with the right decimal mark
• sponsored flag from eBay's own placement data, and carousel cards that are not search results are left out
• Seller leads with feedback, items sold, location, member since, Top Rated and a 0-100 lead score, plus published business contacts for EU/UK business sellers
• Every filter in a pasted eBay link is kept (condition, price, format, item location, aspects)
• Monitoring mode delivers only listings and sellers not delivered before

How to use

1. Sign up for Apify; the free plan is enough to try this actor.
2. Open Listing Scraper for eBay, enter keywords (or paste eBay links, or seller usernames), pick a marketplace and filters, and click Start.
3. Results stream into the dataset page by page. The run's status line says what happened, including anything eBay refused.
4. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS, or pull results with the Apify API.

No proxy setup needed: the actor uses Apify's shared proxies and opens a fresh session whenever eBay refuses a page.

The dataset opens on an Overview table; the Listings, Item details, Seller leads and Business contacts views show one record type's columns each.

Good to know

• Sold / completed listings are not available: eBay serves that view only to signed-in accounts. soldQuantity and watchers are the public demand signals.
• Fields appear when eBay shows them: bids and time left exist only on auctions, a "was" price only on discounted listings, sellerType only on sites that label private and business sellers, rating only for catalogue products with reviews, mpn and gtin13 only when the seller entered them.
• Item location is printed on every ebay.com card; on the European, UK and Australian sites eBay prints it on the card for imported items only, and the item page always has it (turn on item details).
• Shipping, returns and import charges on item pages are shown by eBay for the visitor's country. When a page is read from outside the listing's own country, a row keeps only what applies to buyers in that country: the search page's domestic shipping quote for listings found by a search, and eBay's domestic quote and return policy from the listing data (ebay.com always has them, most ebay.de listings too). A policy eBay shows only to foreign visitors is never reported as the listing's policy. shipping.destination names the country a quote is for.
• Business contacts come from the business details eBay publishes for business sellers on its European and UK sites. Private sellers and US sellers have none.
• A category on its own cannot be browsed: eBay refuses whole-category browsing to automated requests, so add at least one keyword and use categoryId to narrow it.
• ebay.ca checks every automated visitor, so its search pages go through a slower unblocking route and take one to three minutes each (240 listings per page). Item details for ebay.ca listings are read from the same listing on www.ebay.com: a row found by a search keeps the Canadian price and the search page's shipping and returns notes for Canadian buyers, a pasted item link keeps the listing's own price and currency, and returnPolicy stays empty because that page names only US return policies. If eBay still refuses a page, the run says so and bills no results for it.
• Monitoring: the first run is the baseline. It delivers up to maxItems and remembers the rest of what it saw, so later runs never bill older listings as new. Every run, including a monitoring run that finds nothing new, pays any run-start fee listed on the Pricing tab, so a schedule every hour or so is usually plenty.

How much does it cost to scrape eBay?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you pay for the results it delivers, at the prices on the Pricing tab of this page (which also lists any run-start fee). The result events are:

• Listing: one active eBay listing with title, condition, price, shipping, bids, quantity sold, location and seller.
• Item detail: one listing with its full item page: every item specific, return policy, payment methods, photos, description and the seller's details.
• Seller lead: one seller profile as a lead: feedback, items sold, followers, location, member since, Top Rated status, lead score and any published business contacts.

A run that finds nothing, or that eBay refuses, bills no results. Set a maximum total charge on the run for a hard cap on spend, and use maxItems / maxSellers to control how much the Actor fetches.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API: start runs, fetch datasets, manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python: official SDKs.
• Schedules: run it on a cron to keep your data fresh.
• Webhooks: trigger downstream actions the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/ebay-scraper').call({
    searchQueries: ['nintendo switch oled'],
    condition: 'used',
    monitorMode: true,
    monitorKey: 'switch-oled-listings',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} new listings`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps, no code required:

• Make: multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier: push new records into your CRM, sheet or repricer.
• Slack: get notified when a run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets: auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte: pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub: trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server: ask your assistant to "find used Nintendo Switch OLED listings under $200 on eBay and tell me the asking-price range by condition" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready: AI agents can discover it, run it and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402: an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server, with no account and no API key.
• Skyfire: agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

Tips

• For demand signal, read soldQuantity and watchers on each listing; sort by newest to see what just came in.
• Narrow with condition, priceMin/priceMax, listingType and categoryId to avoid unrelated items, or paste a search link you already filtered on eBay.
• Turn on enrichItemDetails when you need item specifics, return policies, descriptions or the seller's details; it adds one request per listing.
• For seller leads with business contacts, search a European or UK marketplace and turn on emitSellerLeads.
• Use a distinct monitorKey per saved search so each watch keeps its own memory.

FAQ

• Does it need my eBay login or an API key? No. It reads eBay's public pages: no account, cookies or developer key.
• Can I get sold prices? No. eBay serves its sold / completed-listings view only to signed-in accounts, so this Actor does not offer it. The nearest public signal is soldQuantity, the number of units a live listing has already sold.
• Do I need to configure a proxy? No. The actor manages proxy sessions for you. You can override it under Proxy configuration, but you do not need to.
• Which marketplaces? US, UK, DE, AU, CA, FR, IT, ES, NL and IE, set with marketplace. Pasted links keep their own site, and prices use the local currency.
• How do I get seller contact details? eBay publishes business details (company, contact name, address, phone, e-mail, VAT number) for business sellers on its European and UK sites, and the seller leads include them. Private sellers and US sellers have no published contact details.
• Why did a run return fewer listings than maxItems? The search had fewer results, the filters were narrow, or eBay refused part of it; the run's status line says which.
• Are there exports? Yes: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, plus the API and 5,000+ integrations.

Data & lawful use

This Actor reads public listings and the seller information shown on them, including the business details eBay publishes for business sellers on its European and UK sites. Sellers on eBay include private individuals and sole traders, so seller names, usernames and any contact details are personal data. If you are in the EU or UK you are the data controller for what you do with them: have a lawful basis, use the data for market research, price monitoring, lawful sourcing or business contact that the law allows, honour deletion requests, and do not send unsolicited marketing where the e-privacy rules forbid it, in particular never to private sellers.

Under Apify's Standard Actor Contract, which governs your use of this Actor, you are the controller of any personal data in your input and output and scrapesage acts only as your processor: that data is processed solely to run your job, written only to your own Apify storage, never used for any other purpose and never shared onward. If you need help with a data-subject request that involves this Actor's output, open an issue on the Issues tab.
