I’m sure you have notice some eBay sellers who uses videos in their listings. I found a great video in one of the many eBay listings recently. The seller was selling diamonds and the video really captured the shape so well. The shines and cut came out so clearly in the videos that it totally changed my mind about buying diamonds on eBay.
I once had a friend commented, "It is so cheap to buy a diamond ring on eBay." And, I never thought there will be real fine diamond rings on eBay, other than junks.
With more and more sellers coming online everyday, I find that this particular sellers really stand out from the competition. The video was so perfectly done that I feel I’m actually holding and turning the diamond with my hand.
It’s easy to embed a video in your auctions listings. First you need to find a host to store your videos. The video must deliver the content in flash animation format and be hosted by a site that is approved by eBay, and here are 12 of them. (Of course, they are not limited just for your auctions use.)
