How to Get Embedded Videos In "You may also like" Section?
I have some listings that have videos embedded into them and I am wondering what requirements are for the auto playing video to appear in the "You may also like" section under a listing.
You can find examples of this happening when you search for "jewelry" or similar and after clicking on a few items, scroll down to that section. At least on desktop. Jewelry seems to have a threshold of tons of listings with videos to find them easily.

·1 year agoYour promoted listings with videos are already showing up playing beneath your competitors listings. I just looked at a few. Cheers!

I could be mistaken, but I think if you are logged in under your selling ID, ebay won't show you your own videos in your competition's listing. But if you log out, I think you will be able to see it. (might have to clear cache and cookies though...)

OP1 year agoHey thanks for checking! Good to know that they are playing videos even for the ones that are promoted using the General strategy and not just the pay per click ones. I checked on some more example listings and it looks like they don't autoplay in the mobile client. I suppose that does make sense for bandwidth conservation but I kind of expected them to be there anyway.
