Benefits of Adding YouTube Videos to Your eBay Product Listings

There are many benefits to adding YouTube videos to eBay product listings. In addition to allowing Kuhu to understand the product more clearly, it can also bring more profits to sellers. With videos, customers can avoid the trouble of sending you messages for consultation, and they will buy the product directly.

Why is it important to add product videos to your eBay listings?

This can bring the following benefits to sellers:

The video contains all the information about the product, which saves users the trouble of scrolling through the pages to view product information.

People tend to watch videos more than read page information. If you add videos to your product listings, you can make these users more likely to contact your products.

If your video is engaging enough, customers may add the product to their cart or wish list. This is good news, indicating that customers are already attracted to your product.

If you embed sound in your product videos, it will give customers a sense of involvement from the seller. Most buyers want to buy from a person, not a big company, and embedding sound in product videos can achieve this effect. For second-hand refurbished goods, this method will enhance the marketing effect.

Not all eBay sellers are willing to optimize their eBay product listings, so adding product videos will help you get more attention. In the eyes of buyers, eBay listings with videos are more competitive than other similar products, so make good eBay product videos.

You can also include other products in your product video so that potential customers can get exposed to that product.

Are there any restrictions on adding YouTube videos to eBay listings?

There are restrictions on uploading anything on eBay, including uploading product videos. The restrictions are:

Embedded videos you copied from YouTube will show other similar products, which may take away the interest of potential customers. If you upload the video yourself, you avoid the trouble of advertising for competitors.

YouTube videos require a plug-in to run. If the plug-in is not installed on the potential customer's computer or other device, the video will not be able to play.

YouTube has a limit on the length of uploaded videos, and most videos cannot be longer than 15 minutes. You can increase the video length limit by verifying your account, so that you can upload videos longer than 15 minutes.

· Starting from November 12, 2016, the videos you create on YouTube cannot exceed 28G. Otherwise, you can only shorten the video or cut it into several small clips.

What are the important things to remember when adding eBay product videos?

Here are some important things to keep in mind when creating and uploading product videos on the eBay platform:

Product Information

The video should answer all the questions that the customer may have. Here are some questions to help you:

Product Features

Product size

Manufacturer

For used/refurbished products: any damage, how old they are, and things to note

What are the benefits of this product?

Product reviews and ratings (what others think of the product)

Product mentions (has the product been mentioned on talk shows or in blogs?)

edit:

After taking photos or videos, you should put them together:

Use free software to keep costs down, but if you want to make a more professional video, you should buy professional editing software from Adobe

If you don’t have the technical skills to edit, you can hire a professional to do it for you. Hiring someone locally is much more expensive than hiring online, and you should outsource the editing work to a freelancer who can charge a lower price than expected.

Remember to add relevant text about the product and manufacturer details in your video.

Create a infographic to attract customers. The infographic should include the main purpose of the video.

Choose appropriate music. If there is speech in the video, choose pure music.

If the video is too dark, adjust the brightness of the video appropriately.

Promote your eBay store.

Keep your video short.

Upload

Note when uploading:

· eBay only accepts embedded videos from YouTube. You should create a YouTube account using your eBay store email address.

Different file sizes take different amounts of time to upload on YouTube.

If your file is too large, you can export the source file in a smaller file format that takes up less memory.

· Follow eBay’s linking policy when adding product videos to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Conclusion

Remember, more attention means more sales for your product. To do this, you need to decide whether to copy someone else's product video or create your own product video. You should upload different videos on two identical product listings to test what type of videos your potential customers prefer to watch. If the video on the product listing is not created by you, you will not be able to accurately see how many people have watched the video you uploaded, so it is recommended that you create your own video, and you can also insert the store logo and other necessary product details in the original video.
