eBay Listings Scraper - Prices, Bids, Sellers & Item Specifics

What does eBay Listings Scraper do?

eBay Listings Scraper returns active eBay listings as structured rows: the price or price range, buying format, bids and time left, shipping, condition, item location, the seller and their feedback, sold count, watchers and whether eBay marked the listing as sponsored. Search by keyword, paste any eBay search, category, store or seller link, or give item numbers. Resellers, price trackers, brand-protection teams and market researchers use it to watch what is for sale right now.

eBay search scraper - eBay product scraper - eBay listings API - eBay auction tracker

• Every search card as a row: title, price (and price range), original price, discount, format, bids, time left, shipping cost, total price, returns, location, sold count, watchers, seller, feedback score and positive %
• Sponsored flag eBay hides: eBay scrambles the visible "Sponsored" label; the actor reads the accessibility label it points at, so each row carries isSponsored and an organicRank among non-sponsored listings
• Keyword, URL, category, store, seller or item number: combine any of them in one run
• Item details add-on: item specifics, all images, quantity available, exact watchers, returns policy, delivery estimate, seller details, listing start and end time, and the seller's own description
• 13 eBay sites: US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Netherlands and Poland, each in its own currency
• Monitor mode: scheduled runs deliver only listings earlier runs did not, and can re-deliver listings whose price changed
• Free price summary: count, min, median, percentiles and max per search, plus auction, free-shipping and sponsored shares
• No eBay account, cookies or API key
• Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel; schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets; the Apify API and MCP server

Input JSON

{
    "keywords": ["iphone 13"],
    "ebaySite": "ebay.com",
    "itemCondition": "used",
    "buyingFormat": "buyItNow",
    "maxPrice": 300,
    "sortBy": "priceLowest",
    "skipSponsored": true,
    "maxItems": 200
}

Track auctions that end soon

{
    "keywords": ["pokemon card psa 10"],
    "buyingFormat": "auction",
    "sortBy": "endingSoonest",
    "endingWithinHours": 6,
    "minBids": 1,
    "maxItems": 300
}

With Sort = ending soonest, the run stops reading pages once listings end after the window.

A seller's whole inventory, or a pasted search

{
    "sellers": ["backinthebox"],
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=lego+42115&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15" },
        { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/str/backinthebox" }
    ],
    "maxItemsPerSearch": 100
}

A store page is read for the seller account it belongs to, then that seller's listings are searched. A pasted search URL keeps its own filters.

⬆️ Output

One row per listing. A real row from a test run for "nintendo switch" (selected fields, values as delivered):

How much does it cost to scrape eBay listings?

Pay per event, no start fee:

Event	Price	When
listing	$0.00009 ($0.09 per 1,000 listings)	each delivered row
item-details	$0.0013	each row that got its item page (Item details on, or an item link)

Examples: 1,000 listings = $0.09. 100 listings with item details = $0.009 + $0.13 = $0.139. An item link = $0.00139. Listings your filters remove are not charged, rows whose item page could not be read are delivered without details and without the add-on charge, and the run stops at your maximum cost per run without going over it.

Run it on a schedule (monitor mode)

Turn on Monitor mode, set Sort = newly listed, and schedule the actor hourly or daily in Apify Schedules. Each run remembers what it delivered (per search, in the named store monitorStoreName) and delivers only listings no earlier run did; with Also deliver price changes, a known listing whose price moved comes back with changeType: "priceChanged" and previousPrice. A poll that finds nothing new is not charged for any row. Through the API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/TopApi~ebay-listings-scraper/runs?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["leica m6"],"sortBy":"newlyListed","monitorMode":true,"trackPriceChanges":true,"maxItems":200}'

Use a webhook on ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED to push new rows to Slack, Google Sheets or your own endpoint, or call the actor from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Limits & empty runs

• Results per search: eBay shows up to about 10,000 results per search; split big searches by price range, condition or category.
• eBay's browser check: eBay sometimes answers a page with its "Checking your browser" page. The actor never answers it and never retries it from another address of the same kind; that page type moves to the next route (datacenter, the platform's own address, residential, Apify's unblocker) for the rest of the run, within a per-run proxy budget. When the budget runs out the run ends SUCCEEDED with a warning saying how many pages it read; rows already delivered are kept. On test runs, searches of up to 2-3 pages finished on free routes; deeper runs often stopped after 3 pages (about 180 listings), and item details after the first few item pages.
• Seller on the card: eBay hides the seller on search cards in some categories (trading cards, LEGO auctions, non-US auctions); turn on Item details to read it from the item page.
• Category pages (/b/...) show about 30 listings per page and no seller.
• Empty runs: a search that matches nothing ends SUCCEEDED with a status that says which search and what to change; a run where eBay refused every request ends FAILED with nothing charged.
• Sold listings are not here; use eBay Sold Listings Scraper.
