## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## eBay Search + PDP Scraper

**Pull live eBay listings from keyword or image searches, with optional product-detail enrichment.** Search results include seller feedback, ratings, price history, shipping, returns, product attributes and demand signals. PDP enrichment adds stock, seller history, full item specifics, variations and image galleries.

[eBay.com](https://www.ebay.com)

***

### 🛒 What It Does

The actor runs in two stages:

1. **Search enrichment** — reads eBay search results and extracts seller feedback, ratings, real condition, price history, shipping, returns, product attributes and demand signals.
2. **PDP enrichment (optional)** — opens each listing's product page and adds seller history, stock, shipping, returns, item specifics, variations and image galleries.

Keyword and visual search are supported. Pagination, retries and access handling are automatic. PDP enrichment is optional and limited to the first N results.

### 🛒 Who It's For

- **eBay resellers** — Track competitor pricing on items you source and flip. Watch-count and sold-count signals tell you which listings have real demand before you restock.
- **Dropshippers** — Build product catalogs from eBay search pages and pipe structured rows into your Shopify or e-commerce back end. Multi-keyword batches let you seed 10 niches in one job.
- **Market analysts** — Track sold volumes, listing locations, and free-returns rates across categories. Useful for demand forecasting, brand monitoring, and category trend reports.
- **Deal hunters and arbitrageurs** — Pull live sold listings for any product and quickly identify underpriced inventory in specific regions (US, UK, EU).

### 🛒 PDP Enrichment

PDP enrichment is optional. It adds seller history, stock, shipping, returns, item specifics, variations and image galleries to every result returned.

Turn it on or off with `enrichDetails`. No other setup is required.

### 🛒 Example output row

A completed row (57 fields). Nested `item_specifics`, `images` and long text fields are shortened for readability; the live dataset contains the full values.

### 🛒 Use Cases

#### How to scrape eBay sold listings without getting blocked?

Run a single keyword like `"vintage camera"` and request 300 items. Sold counts come back as plain numbers (76 sold, 1.2K sold) so you can sort and filter without extra processing.

#### How to find trending products by watch count on eBay?

Watch count is the strongest leading indicator of demand. Run the scraper on 5–10 niche keywords, sort the output by `watch_count` from highest to lowest, and you get a ranked shortlist of listings that buyers are actively tracking — useful for dropshipping product discovery and for sellers pricing up-and-coming inventory.

#### How to download eBay listings as a spreadsheet?

Every run saves the structured rows to your results. Open the results section, click **Export**, and pick your preferred spreadsheet format. Each row includes title, price, sold count, watch count, delivery, location, image URL, and a link back to the listing — ready to drop into a spreadsheet or import into your pricing tool.

#### How to track eBay seller locations for a niche?

The `location` field captures the seller's country on every listing card. Run a search on `"lego minifigures"` and `"yugioh cards"` and you'll see which regions dominate which categories — useful for import/export planning, supplier sourcing, and market-share analysis.

#### How to pull multi-keyword eBay search results in one batch?

Pass an array of up to 10 keywords to the keyword field. Each keyword is scraped independently, results are deduplicated, and the `queries` array on every row shows which searches found that item. Run `"monster high"`, `"barbie vintage"`, `"hot wheels"` in a single job and you get one consolidated dataset.

### 🛒 Quick Start

1. **Open the tool** — Go to the eBay Search + PDP Scraper page.
2. **Choose a search** — Enter keywords, upload an image, paste an image URL, or combine them.
3. **Set the max items** — Choose how many listings to return per search (1–3000, default 60).
4. **Choose PDP enrichment** — Leave `enrichDetails` on to include product-page fields.
5. **Click Run** — The actor handles pagination, retries and enrichment automatically.
6. **Export** — Download CSV or Excel, or open the `overview`, `full` or `pdp` dataset view.

### 🛒 PDP Enrichment Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `enrichDetails` | boolean | No | `true` | Add product-page fields to every result returned (seller history, stock, shipping, returns, item specifics, variations, images) |

### 🛒 Example

#### Input

```json
{
  "keyword": ["samsung galaxy s24"],
  "maxItems": 40,
  "enrichDetails": true
}
```

The output is shown in **Example output row** above.

### 🛒 FAQ

#### Is scraping eBay allowed?

Scraping publicly displayed eBay search results is generally acceptable for personal research, market analysis, and product research. The tool targets only public pages (no login wall, no purchase history, no personal data). You must still comply with eBay's Terms of Service and applicable privacy laws like GDPR if you store or republish the data. Avoid scraping behind login walls; consult legal counsel if your specific use case is uncertain.

#### Can I scrape multiple keywords at once?

Yes. The `keyword` parameter accepts an array of up to 10 search terms. Each keyword is scraped in its own paginated run, and results are merged into a single deduplicated dataset. The `queries` array on each row tells you which searches matched that listing.

#### What is the eBay sold listings scraper?

It extracts the sold-volume signal from eBay search results — the number of items previously sold at a given price for similar listings. This actor captures it as `sold_count`, plus `quantity_sold` from the product page, so you can sort and filter by demand without visiting each item manually.

#### How does PDP enrichment work?

When `enrichDetails` is on, the actor adds seller history, stock, shipping, returns, item specifics, variations and images. Turn it off for a search-only run.

#### How does the scraper avoid blocks?

The actor switches to a new connection when eBay returns a block page. It retries automatically and stops early if pages keep failing.

#### What happens if a page gets blocked?

The scraper detects block pages, captchas and empty responses. It retries with a new connection. If consecutive pages fail, it stops early instead of looping.

#### Can I use this with other marketplaces?

Yes. eBay listing data pairs well with product data from other selling platforms. Cross-marketplace comparison lets you validate pricing and demand signals across channels.
