Add Video to Your eBay Listings

eBay blocks iframes and embedded scripts in listing descriptions. eCommercePlayer works around this with the image-link method: a clickable thumbnail image that opens your video player in a new tab. It is the reliable, eBay-compliant way to get video in front of your buyers.

Image Link Method

eBay-Compatible Sharing

The image-link method creates a clickable thumbnail that works within eBay's content security policy. Buyers click the thumbnail and your video opens in a new tab.

Step by Step

How to Get Started

Follow these steps to get your media embedded and live.

Upload Your Video

Log in to eCommercePlayer and upload your product video. We accept MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, MKV, and more. The file is automatically converted to HTML5 MP4 for universal playback.

Create a Player

Create a new player and add your video clip (or multiple clips as a playlist). Preview it to make sure everything looks right.

Copy the Image Link Code

Go to the Publish page and select "Image Link." This gives you an HTML image tag wrapped in a link. The image is a thumbnail of your video. The link opens the full player.

Paste into Your eBay Listing

In eBay's listing editor, switch to the HTML view and paste the code into your item description. When buyers see your listing, they see a video thumbnail and click it to watch.
