eBay Scraper — Listings, Prices & Sellers

Scrape eBay search results from ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.com.au, ebay.at and ebay.ie into a clean dataset: title, price and currency, strike-through and coupon price, shipping cost, condition, buying format (auction, Buy It Now, Best Offer), bids and time left, sold count, watchers, item location, seller username, feedback score and positive percentage, image and item URL. Turn on item details for item specifics (brand, model, MPN, EAN / UPC and every other attribute), quantity available and sold, watch count, start and end date, shipping service and delivery estimate, return policy, categories and all images.

No login, no browser and no Unblocker fees: one request returns up to 240 listings. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API into your own app, Google Sheets or a repricing / arbitrage pipeline. You pay per listing you get.

How to use eBay Scraper

1. Type one or more Search terms and pick the Marketplace (ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ...), and/or paste Start URLs: search pages with any filters you set on eBay, or item pages (/itm/...).
2. Optionally set Sort by, Buying format (auction / Buy It Now / accepts offers), Condition, Min / Max price or a Category ID.
3. Set Max items to cap the run (and the cost).
4. Turn on Include item details only if you need item specifics, quantity sold or the return policy: it opens one more page per listing and costs a little extra. For large detail runs pick Residential proxies (see below).
5. Click Start. Results appear in the Dataset tab; export from there or use the API.

How much does it cost to scrape eBay?

Pay per result: result per listing saved, plus detail per listing whose item page was opened (see the Pricing tab). Platform usage is small: a search page of 240 listings takes a few seconds, so 1,000 listings use roughly $0.005-0.01 of compute on Apify's datacenter proxy. Set Max items to cap a run; the Actor stops opening pages as soon as the cap is reached and only opens item pages for listings it can still save.

Can I scrape eBay sold and completed listings?

No. Since 22 July 2026 eBay only shows sold and completed listings (LH_Sold=1, LH_Complete=1) to signed-in members; logged-out visitors are redirected to the sign-in page on every marketplace. This Actor does not log in, so such URLs are skipped and listed in the run summary (soldUrlsSkipped). For resale research it still gives you live asking prices, the units already sold on multi-quantity listings (soldCount, quantitySold), watchers and bid counts.

How many results can I get per search?

eBay serves at most about 10,000 listings per search (42 pages of 240). For more, split the search by category (categoryId), condition, buying format or price range (minPrice / maxPrice) and run several searches.

Does it work without login or an eBay API key? Which proxy should I use?

Yes. The Actor reads eBay's public search and item pages, the same pages any visitor sees, and needs no eBay account or developer keys. eBay sometimes answers automated traffic with a "Pardon our interruption" check; the Actor then retries with a different browser fingerprint and IP, and reports the number of such pages in the run summary. The default Apify datacenter proxy is enough for search pages (one request per 240 listings). Item pages are checked harder: on datacenter IPs about half of the item-page requests on ebay.com need a retry and a few can fail after 9 tries (they keep their search data and get a detailError), while Residential proxies loaded 98% of item pages on the first try in our tests. Residential traffic is billed per GB by Apify (about 170 KB per item page).

Why do shipping prices differ on ebay.de or ebay.co.uk?

Search pages show the marketplace's own delivery line (+EUR 2,10 Lieferung, +£4.90 delivery). Item pages compute shipping for the visitor's country, which is the proxy's country (usually the US), so with details on the item page's line is saved separately in shippingDetailText (for example "May not post to United States"). Use a proxy in the marketplace's country if you need the item-page shipping for that country.

Monitor changes on a schedule

Turn on Only new or changed items and the Actor remembers what earlier runs of the same search returned: each run outputs only listings that are new or whose price, price range, struck-through original price or stock hint ("Last one") changed (shipping is not compared: eBay calculates it for the visitor's location, so it varies from run to run). Unchanged listings are dropped before anything is saved or any item page is opened, so they are not charged. Save the input as a task (for example "newly listed" sort, Max items 100: the newest 100 listings are checked each run), then add a Schedule to it in Apify Console (Schedules → Create new, daily or hourly). Every output listing carries changeType (new or changed), and changed ones carry previousValues, e.g. {"price": 249.99} for a listing that dropped to 229.99. Use Monitoring key to keep several schedules on the same search separate.

Legal and data notes

The Actor collects only what eBay shows publicly to any logged-out visitor: listings, prices and the public seller username and feedback numbers. It does not log in, does not access members-only pages (such as sold listings), and does not collect buyer data. You are responsible for using the data in line with eBay's terms and the laws that apply to you (for example GDPR when you process sellers' usernames).
