If you are hiring a company to produce the videos then it is an expense. If you yourself are doing the production the expenses begin to get questionable and you might be setting yourself up for an audit. Best to consult a CPA.

Sure, it's an Advertising/Marketing expense.

For eBay use it's probably better to upload the video directly to eBay in addition to YouTube.

There are restrictions on time, file size etc.
