Sellers are always trying to look for new and better ways to promote their brand and products with listing content that enhances the online shopping experience for customers. Video content in listings has been at the frontline of this trend toward enhancing the online shopping experience in recent years. So it should come as no surprise that eBay has launched a new video upload capability for eBay sellers to promote their products with video content. eBay enables sellers to upload videos directly to eBay, and they will appear in the gallery area on the eBay product page. In this article, we will guide you on how to add a video to your eBay listings to advertise your brand and products.
Why is adding a video on the eBay listing important?
Using video makes your listing and you as a seller stand out. It adds an extra dimension to the description of your product. Most eBay sellers use photos to sell goods, and many use video as a way to virally promote their stores and items. However, savvy sellers also combine these two, embedding both videos and images of their items in their listings. If another seller happens to be hawking the same item as you, you’ll likely have the edge with buyers because of your video.
Let’s walk through the process of adding a video to the eBay listings.
Step 1: First, log in to your eBay seller account and click on the Listings Menu. Now, click on the Active option under the listing section, it’ll show you the Manage active listings page. On this page, you will find the Create listing button in your top right corner. From this button, please click on the Single listing option.
Step 2: Now, you have to put the title on the box and select Get started for further process.
Step 3: After that, Create your listing page will appear. From this page, you have to click on the Try the new listing tool option.
Step 4: A warning appears once you click on Try the new listing tool. From this message, you have to select on Switch listing tool. Then eBay will come with a new page where you can add your video for your product listing.
Step 5:

- Then from the Add video section, you have to upload your video.
Step 6: After filling up all the required sections, you have to scroll down and click on the List it button to complete the process.
