eBay price history chart (2026)
Short answer: eBay does not chart sold prices over time, so this free tool does it for you. Type an item and it reads its most recent completed eBay US sales, charts the median sold price week by week, and compares the last 30 days with the whole sample so you can see at a glance whether the price is climbing or sliding. No sign-up.
Updated
When to check the price trend
- Before you buy stock. A falling weekly median means the margin you planned on may be gone by the time you list.
- Before you list. If the last 30 days sit above the full sample, price toward the recent sales, not the old ones.
- After a new release. Consoles, phones and new card sets drop fast after launch. The chart shows where the drop flattens.
Track prices for every item you sell
Resellers and pricing apps run the same search through the eBay Sold Listings API on a schedule and keep every sale. One call returns up to 240 completed sales with price, date, condition and shipping, as JSON or CSV, across eight eBay marketplaces.

Frequently asked questions
Does eBay show a price history for an item?
No. eBay lists sold items one by one but has no chart of how the price moved. This tool reads the recent sales for your search and charts the median sold price week by week.
How far back does the chart go?
It uses the most recent completed sales for your search, up to 240 of them, reaching back as far as eBay's sold search goes, about 90 days. For a popular item, 240 sales may cover only a few weeks; the tool shows the exact date range under the chart.
Why a median and not an average?
One damaged unit or one wildly overpriced sale pulls an average around. The median is the middle sale of the week, so it shows where the market really is.
Is it free?
Yes. Every visitor gets 5 free searches a day without signing up, and repeating a search is free. A free API key adds 50 requests a month, and ESLA Unlimited has no cap for $299 a month.
How do I build a longer price history?
Call the eBay Sold Listings API on a schedule, for example once a day per item, and store each sale by its item ID. Within weeks you own a growing price history for your whole catalog. ESLA Unlimited makes daily tracking of large catalogs a flat monthly cost.
