🛒 eBay Store Scraper

Turn any eBay store into a clean, structured product feed. Paste one or more store URLs and this Actor walks the storefront, opens every listing, and returns a rich record per product — seller stats, the full image gallery, price, condition, shipping, delivery, returns, item specifics, and the full description.

Built for reliability: it starts on a direct connection and automatically escalates through Datacenter → Residential proxies the moment eBay rate-limits it, so your run keeps flowing instead of failing.

✨ Why Choose This Actor?

• 🧩 Complete records — not just title & price, but condition, shipping, delivery estimate, return policy, every item specific, the full gallery, and the long-form description.
• 🛡️ Anti-block by design — Chrome TLS/HTTP impersonation + a self-escalating proxy ladder (direct → datacenter → residential, sticky once escalated).
• 💾 Live results — every product is saved the instant it's scraped, so a long run is never lost.
• 📊 Sectioned output views — browse results as Seller, Product, Shipping & Returns, or Details tables.
• 🔢 Bulk input — scrape many stores in a single run, with an optional per-store cap.

💵 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event: you are charged per product item returned (row_result), plus standard Apify platform usage. You only pay for products actually delivered to your dataset, and the run stops cleanly if your spend limit is reached.

❓ FAQ

Which store URL formats work? Both https://www.ebay.com/usr/<name> and https://www.ebay.com/str/<name>. A bare username also works.

Why does the log mention switching networks? eBay rate-limits aggressive traffic. The Actor automatically moves from a direct connection to datacenter, then residential proxies, and sticks with the stronger route — no action needed from you.

Do I need proxies? Keep Apify Proxy enabled. Residential proxies give the best success rate against eBay's challenge pages.

Some items show only card data. If an individual listing page is temporarily blocked, the Actor falls back to the storefront card data so you still get the product rather than nothing.
