How To Add Video To Your eBay Listing
Increase your sales by adding video to your eBay listing. You get the increase simply because a video is more attractive than single pictures or even a gallery of pictures. Additonally you can transmit a lot more information with video, including information that would not normally be allowed in an eBay listing.
Including a video in your listing is a three part process.
The first step is to make a short video describing the product.:
You can use the free Windows Movie Maker or one of more advanced Video and Screen capture programs.
But if you use one of the screen capture programs you can make your advertisement much more effective.
Whether you use the Windows Movie Maker or a combination of the Windows Movie Maker and a screen capture program, your end result will be increased eBay sales once you add the video to your listing.
The second step it to upload your video to an eBay approved video hosting site:
Upload your video to one of eBay’s approved video hosting sites. For the list, see eBay Approved Sites.
After you upload, the video host will show you an embed code. Copy that embed code.
The third step is to add your video to your item description:
Go to the Sell Your Item form on eBay.
In the Description section, click the "HTML" line to select the tab for entering HTML
