Regards, eBay INCBT TeamAdd a video to your listing to increase buyer engagement
One of the easiest ways to increase buyer engagement is by adding a video to your listing. You can add videos to your listings free of charge to help showcase items in more detail using APIs or certain third party providers. Currently, videos are displayed in the image gallery of the listing in the eBay app and the mobile browser. You can only add one video per listing, but you can use the same video on multiple listings - you just need to upload it once. We're currently rolling out a new listing tool which offers sellers improved listing features. You can also upload videos via the new listing tool and can start using it by selecting 'Try the new listing tool' when listing an item. Read more about the new listing tool here.
