Use Cases

Seller Research & Due Diligence

Before buying from an eBay seller, research their full profile. Check feedback trends over time — a seller with declining ratings may indicate recent quality issues. Compare feedback breakdown across periods to spot patterns.

Supplier Vetting

For e-commerce businesses sourcing products from eBay, vet potential suppliers by feedback score, positive percentage, and member tenure. Filter for Top Rated sellers with 99%+ positive feedback and 5+ years of history for the most reliable supply chain.

Competitive Intelligence

Monitor competitor stores to track their active listings, pricing strategies, and inventory levels. See what products they sell, how they price them, and how their customer satisfaction compares to yours.

Market Research

Search for sellers in specific niches to understand market dynamics. Analyze how many sellers operate in a category, their typical feedback scores, and pricing patterns across store inventories.

Dropshipping Research

Find reliable eBay sellers for dropshipping partnerships. Filter by feedback score, shipping speed indicators in reviews, and active listing volume to identify sellers with the capacity to fulfill orders consistently.

Brand Protection

Monitor eBay sellers listing your products. Track unauthorized resellers, counterfeit listings, and pricing violations across the marketplace.

Tips for Best Results

1. Use proxies for bulk scraping — eBay may block IPs that scrape too many seller profiles. Enable Apify proxy configuration for scraping more than 5-10 sellers.

2. Keep concurrency low — Start with 2-3 concurrent requests. Seller profile pages are heavier than search results.

3. Disable listings for speed — If you only need feedback/profile data, set includeListings to false. This dramatically reduces scraping time and cost.

4. Use feedback score filter — Set minFeedbackScore to skip new sellers with insufficient history for analysis.

5. Schedule recurring runs — Use Apify Scheduler to monitor seller profiles weekly or monthly for ongoing competitive intelligence.

6. Combine with product scraper — Use this alongside the eBay Product Scraper to get both product-level and seller-level data for complete market analysis.
