I can't tell from this if you are having trouble uploading a video?
You will need list on the website and use the "Advanced Listing Tool" format to upload a video. (Neither the Mobile App nor the website "Quick Listing Tool" allow videos.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Add a Video
If you have the "Advanced Listing Tool" and are on the website
Videos need to be added from the website, desktop, or browser view, not from the app
-->> Videos should be .mp4 or .mov with a 150MB limit, or less than one minute long
A) Browse to select the video
Click Add (any photo spot) and then browse to the file location, (a Windows file folder will appear)
Click the Video file and click Open on the Windows window.
OR
B) Drag and Drop the video
-- From my own personal experience, it is best to have your Video folder open and your eBay listing open.
To drag and drop a Video file, click it with your left mouse button, then, without releasing the button, drag it to the desired location and then release the mouse button to drop it.
