    searchTerm: 'Nintendo Switch OLED',
    maxResults: 200,

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for listings successfully scraped.

Event	Price
Listing scraped	$0.003

Example: Scraping 1,000 eBay listings = 1,000 x $0.003 = $3.00

Limitations

• eBay may show different results based on geographic location — proxies can affect which listings appear
• Auction prices change in real time — the scraped price reflects the current bid at the moment of scraping
• Some listing details (full description, seller history) require visiting individual item pages, which this actor does not do
• Promoted listings may appear at the top of search results alongside organic results
• Maximum 5,000 listings per run
• International eBay sites (ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, etc.) are not supported — only ebay.com
