I have an item that I want to be able to show in motion. How do I embed a Youtube video into my listing so that the viewer will see a screengrab that they can click?
I've seen it done before, mostly with magic tricks where the seller will link the demo of the trick being performed.
I write my own HTML, if that makes a difference (as opposed to using the Vendio HTML writer.)
Recently, Youtube started using the iframe tag in their HTML markup language to embed Youtube Videos into websites. Unfortunately, Ebay doesn't allow the usage of the iframe tag, so we have to go back to the old embed object code, which is very easy if you have worked with HTML markup language before...
Below is a Generic Youtube Embed Video Code to use in the "use your own HTML" section... Replace XXXXXXXXXXX with the 11 character code of your Youtube Video you wish to see in your Auction HTML Description...
Remember that you have to click so you can see the HTML code itself prior to pasting your own. If you preview and you see the HTML code itself you'll need to redo it, as that means the code was pasted when the HTML editor was still enabled.
