Just shoot it Sell with video on eBay with Vzaar

You knew it had to happen. It was just a matter of when.

Here’s an easy way to integrate videos into eBay - a service called Vzaar. You might think, why not just embed a video from YouTube. Here’s why - videos from Vzaar’s video player are made to be used on eBay. It will link directly to the bidding tool, incorporate the user’s feedback rating, and even show how much time is remaining in the auction. Vzaar is able to do this because it’s been accredited by eBay (and therefore gains special access).

If you want a little box at the top of your eBay listing to help drive your auctions higher or to close your “buy it now” deals, just sign up, upload your video, and get going. Oh, and don’t forget, it’s free, so you’ve nothing to lose.

Vzaar has integrated pretty closely with eBay to offer this service. In fact, to take advantage of it, you will need to sign in to your eBay account, and in turn provide authorization to place your videos on your listings.

When it comes to using video to sell, the usual eBay rules tend to apply. Highlight the faults or drawbacks of whatever you’re selling, don’t turn into P.T. Barnum. This is the best way to build the confidence of your potential buyer.
