Linking YouTube videos to promote what you're selling

[silver_invest_inc]

Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question. I noticed someone entered a link to view a YouTube video of the item they were selling. I did this a while ago and was reported to not use a link why did this occur to me? Seems like the other seller is not being reported. Thank you

You are allowed to put a link to a video but there are certain guidelines. On the following link, click on links from an ebay listing. There is info about video links under the Restricted category.

Using the link from YouTube does not work in an eBay description directly. eBay programming guru shipscript wrote a free tool to convert the YouTube code into a format compatible to an eBay listing.

Ask yourself if the video is equally useful without the sound.

Many of our customers shop at work and a sudden burst of KTEL salesmanship over the walls of the veal-fattening pens is a dead giveaway.
