Question
I haven't seen this before and it's likely not new. But, I thought it was an interesting service if you have the need for it. Not offensive so, just look at it. Nor is it an endorsement or advertisement.

Answer
I like the concept but the video was out of focus for me and really didn't show much
did you ever see the video Microbes used in his auctions ? he was selling outboards and you could see and hear it run I thought that was really effective given the product.
the one you linked to wouldnt make me more likley to bid
Answer
i think its good for the right product, but i wonder if thats ebay legal, it looks like a violation with the dotcom on it.
Answer
I didnt realize that the seller is also selling the service I looked at some of his other actions and the quaility is poor.
Microbes was doing it in his auctions 4 ,5 ? years ago .with much better quality there was a discussion of it here I think (maybe AW it was that long ago ). I dont think it would be that hard to do on your own
I hadnt picked up on the URL but I suspect ebay would shut him down
Answer
I kind of thought it was out of the ordinary but was cool in any event. Mango, I never saw Microbes auctions. Sorry I missed them. 4 or 5 years ago? And they were legal then? Or was ebay the sleeping giant at the time.
Hope Microbes is all right, haven't seen him around in a long time.
I like the concept of the video. Wow. Lingerie could make a million...
The quality was lousy but I'm guessing that's the sellers equipment not the feed..

I've got a video clip on my website showing wine-to-be fermenting and bubbling (it's not for sale - LOL!).
I think video clips are handy for items that need further explanation or demonstration, but for most eBay items, I'd think regular photos would be plenty.
Here's a link to my wine page, if anyone's curious. (Dial-up people be warned: it's almost 7MB.)

Question, what's the magic to doing a video and uploading it to an ebay page?
This is only the second time I've done it, so I'm (very much) a newbie at it ... but ... my camera lets me "film" a short movie much like a camcorder does. I then copy the file to my computer, rename it if I want to, upload it to my web space, and provide a link to it. Pretty much the same procedure as putting regular photos on the internet.
