Browse the full range of audio interfaces on eBay →Inputs are what an interface is. Everything else on the box you can work around, but if it has two preamps and you want to record a drum kit, you are buying another interface. So every one here is ranked by what a single simultaneous input costs at today's used price. Lower is more channels for your money. Tap an interface to see its listings.

Counting inputs says nothing about how good they sound, and it should not. An RME preamp and a budget one both count as one input here, and they are not the same input. Read the top of this table as the cheapest way to get channels, then decide how many of them need to be good ones. The Audient iD14 and the Mackie ProFX12v3 sit out: on the iD14 whether the DI records alongside both mic pres depends on the revision, and the Mackie is a twelve channel mixer whose USB side sends two.
Match the number of inputs to your needs. A solo podcaster or singer needs 1 to 2 XLR inputs, like a Scarlett Solo or 2i2. A band recording together needs 4 or more inputs, like a 4i4. Think about how many mics or instruments you record at the same time, and pick an interface with enough inputs. More inputs cost more, but an unused input is wasted money.
Check for the USB cable, power supply and driver support. Confirm it comes with the USB cable and any power supply, and check the manufacturer's website that drivers still support your operating system. Older interfaces can lose macOS or Windows support in newer OS versions, so verify this before buying. A missing cable is cheap to replace, but outdated drivers mean the interface will not work at all.
Test the preamps and phantom power. Confirm the preamps are clean (no crackle or noise through headphones), and if you need condenser mics, that phantom power (48V) works. Look for listings that mention testing or ask the seller whether they have tested all features. A faulty input on a multi-input interface can be expensive to repair.
USB bus-powered or Thunderbolt matters for your setup. USB bus-powered units are simpler and cheaper, drawing power from your computer; Thunderbolt units like the Universal Audio Apollo add onboard DSP and lower latency but cost more and require Thunderbolt on your computer. The Focusrite Scarlett line holds value well and is the safe used buy for beginners; Universal Audio and SSL interfaces have strong resale because they work reliably.

Yes. Favour high-feedback sellers, check that it powers on and all inputs and outputs work cleanly, look for detailed photos of the actual unit, confirm the USB cable and power supply are included, and lean on eBay's Money Back Guarantee if anything arrives damaged.
XLR cables, a monitor speaker or headphones, and possibly a microphone if you don't have one. A quality XLR cable is 10-25 dollars. Budget 50-200 dollars extra for monitoring equipment if you don't already have it.
Phantom power is 48V sent through XLR cables to power condenser microphones. Not all mics need it (dynamic mics do not), but all condenser mics do. Most professional audio interfaces have a switch to turn phantom power on or off for safety. Check that it works before buying.
Yes. Older audio interfaces may no longer be supported on new versions of macOS or Windows. Before buying, check the manufacturer's website to confirm driver support for your specific operating system version. Some legacy interfaces lose compatibility after major OS updates, so verify this before purchasing.
USB bus-powered interfaces draw power from your computer's USB port and are simpler and cheaper. Thunderbolt interfaces connect via Thunderbolt and often include onboard DSP (digital signal processing) for lower latency and more processing power, but cost more. USB interfaces are ideal for beginners; Thunderbolt for professionals needing lower latency.
A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 22 September 2026 . Tap a price to see that model's cheapest listings on eBay, or tap a model name for the full live list here.
Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.
"Off retail" compares today's used price with what the model costs new. For anything still on sale that is its current new price, so the figure is close to a discount you could really get. For anything no longer sold it is the last new price we have on record: on a boxed product like a LEGO set or a console that is the RRP, and on a part like a graphics card it is nearer what new stock was going for at the end than what it cost at launch. So on older hardware read it as depreciation against late retail rather than against the original sticker. A few rows read "above" instead: they cost more used than new, which is normal for a retired set or a part nobody makes any more.
