## Pricing

from $0.0017 / item scraped

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## eBay Scraper — Product Listings, Prices, Conditions & Sellers

Scrape **eBay** search results at scale and export **title, price, condition, listing type, shipping, image and a direct item link** as structured data. Filter by condition, price range, sort and marketplace (US, UK, DE and more), then download clean **JSON, CSV, Excel or XML**.

![eBay Scraper input — searches, condition, price and marketplace in the Apify Console](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/SUfvnaFLd9z9eBCtV/records/ebay-scraper-input.png?v=2)

### What does eBay Scraper do?

eBay Scraper is a crawler that extracts product listings from eBay search results. Give it one or more keywords and optional filters and it collects every matching listing across the pages — price, condition, listing type and shipping — then exports the data points to a dataset you can download or pull through the API.

### What data can you scrape from eBay?

| Data point | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Search & marketplace | The query and eBay site the item came from |
| Item ID & title | Listing identifier and title |
| Price | Numeric price, currency and raw price string |
| Condition | e.g. Brand New, Used |
| Listing type | Buy It Now, auction or Best Offer |
| Shipping | Shipping cost or "Free shipping" |
| Media & link | Item image URL and direct listing URL |

### What you get

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
