`ebid_search`

Pack: ebid · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ebid/mcp

Search listings on the eBid.net online marketplace and auction site (eBid Trading API SearchEbid). Filter by keyword, category, price range, item condition (NEW/USED/UNUSED/REFURBISHED), buy-now only, seller username, or country of origin, on any of eBid’s 20+ country sites. Set closed=true to search ended listings instead of live ones — ended listings with bids are where realized sale prices live. Returns total match count and listings with ListingID, title, bid count, currency and buy-now price. eBid is a small marketplace; treat results as a secondary listings and price source.
