FAQ

How is this different from the Sold Listings Scraper?

This Actor returns live active listings with current prices and competition signals. eBay Sold Listings Scraper returns completed sales with sold dates and final sold prices.

How is this different from Sold Price Intelligence?

eBay Sold Price Intelligence analyzes completed sales and outputs recommended price, demand level, confidence score, and ready-made reports — not live listing rows.

Do I need proxies?

Residential proxies are recommended for US and UK. Defaults to geo-targeted Apify Residential Proxy per marketplace.

Can I scrape multiple keywords at once?

Yes — pass an array in keywords; each query runs in parallel with the same filters.
