main image
Introduction

Automate eBay price tracking with Make × BrowserAct. Collect live product and seller data, compare prices, and get alerts — no coding needed.

Detail

The eBay marketplace moves fast. Prices change by the minute, new listings appear every second, and the best deals are often gone before you even refresh the page.


Trying to keep up manually isn’t just time‑consuming — it’s nearly impossible to stay accurate.


For sellers, buyers, and analysts, real‑time visibility makes the difference between staying competitive and getting left behind.


The Make × BrowserAct eBay Targeted Product Price Scraper is designed to take that task off your hands.

It automates every step of price monitoring and marketplace tracking:

  • Searching for products based on name and rating
  • Capturing live data like prices and seller details
  • Comparing it with your saved records
  • Sending instant alerts or logging new updates


And it does it all — through a complete no‑code workflow, with zero manual effort.

For sellers, it’s a competitive intelligence tool.
For buyers, it’s a price‑tracking assistant.
For analysts, it’s an always‑on data pipeline.



Key Features of eBay Targeted Product Price Scraper

Smart Search & Rating Filters

Simply enter a product name (e.g., “Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra”) and set your minimum rating (e.g., 4 stars or higher). The eCommerce automation visits eBay via BrowserAct, triggers the search bar, and scrolls through pagination to collect all top listings.


Accurate Data Extraction

The eBay scraper automatically extracts and organizes key values:

  • Product name
  • Min and max price (or one value if fixed)
  • Seller name — parsed directly from eBay’s seller detail pattern like ["phonehavens" "99.3%" "positive" "(1.1K)"]. Clean, structured data means no more copying from dozens of listings.


Automated Price Comparison

Once data is captured, Make checks whether previous records exist.

  • If yes, it runs a comparison mode to detect any price or rating changes.
  • If not, it automatically creates a new entry.
  • When changes meet specific criteria (like a price drop or better rating), an alert is sent instantly via email.


Built for Analytics & Reporting

All results are saved as JSON and stored in Google Sheets and Make Data Store, making it easy to sort, visualize, or build custom dashboards. Every run becomes a snapshot in time — perfect for trend monitoring and reporting.

FAQ

  1. Is this safe and allowed to use on eBay?

Yes. The Make × BrowserAct scraper automates browser actions in a way similar to manual browsing — it doesn’t bypass security protocols or access restricted APIs. That means you’re collecting publicly available product data safely and within eBay’s fair use guidelines.


  1. Do I need coding or technical skills to use this template?

No coding is required at all. The entire workflow uses Make’s no‑code interface and BrowserAct’s cloud‑based automation. You can build, run, and customize your scraper visually — just fill in product names, filters, and choose your output destination.


  1. What kind of data can it collect?

The scraper automatically extracts:

  • Product name
  • Min. and max. price
  • Seller name and rating
  • Item link and timestamp (optional)

You can easily extend it to capture additional fields like shipping cost or condition, depending on your needs.


  1. How often can I run the scraper?

You can run it manually anytime or set it up on a schedule (daily, hourly, or weekly) in Make. This flexibility allows you to continuously monitor price changes or get updates at the frequency that fits your business.


  1. Where is the data stored?

All extracted data is safely stored in your own Google Sheets or Make Data Store accounts. You maintain full ownership and control over the data — it’s never shared or stored externally by BrowserAct.


  1. Can I use the scraper for multiple products or categories?

Absolutely. You can duplicate or extend the workflow in Make to track multiple products, price segments, or categories simultaneously. This makes it suitable for both small sellers and enterprise‑level market analysis.


  1. Can this tool send alerts when prices change?

Yes. The scraper includes an automatic comparison module — it checks for differences between the new and previous data sets. When it detects price drops or rating improvements that match your criteria, it triggers an email or message notification instantly.


  1. Does it integrate with other tools or dashboards?

Yes. Because it runs on Make, you can connect it to over 1,500 apps — such as Slack, Notion, Airtable, or your own BI dashboard. Every update can automatically feed into your reporting or analytics pipeline without manual exports.


  1. What if eBay changes its layout?

BrowserAct templates are flexible. If eBay modifies its website structure, you can adjust the scraping selector or re‑run your workflow with a single update — no coding required. Ongoing templates and community support will also help you keep automations updated easily.
