## Learn more about eBay product data

Define the marketplace, listing type and product identity behind the search. Your agent can compare public listings without mixing active offers, completed items or materially different variants.

**Set marketplace and listing state**

Provide the eBay market, item URL or search brief and whether active, sold, auction or fixed-price listings matter. Include condition, variant, seller location and delivery constraints when they affect comparison.

**What should I compare in eBay listing data?**

Keep item price, shipping, condition, seller, listing type, availability and retrieval time together. Similar titles can refer to different bundles, generations or conditions.

**Treat price as a dated offer**

Ask the agent to remove duplicates and compare equivalent items. Recheck shortlisted listings before a purchase or pricing decision because offers and auction states change quickly.

**Example prompt**

This prompt defines a like-for-like listing comparison.

Example prompt to give your agent

`Use Scrollport's eBay product data tools to find [PRODUCT] on [MARKETPLACE] with [CONDITION, VARIANT AND LISTING TYPE]. Compare item price plus shipping, seller context and availability, exclude [MISMATCHES], retain listing links and retrieval time, and show me the price before the paid run.`
