Can I get an update list of Approved Video Hosting Services for eBay?

[masalv-28]

Aside from Youtube and Dacast/Vzaar, what are the other eBay video hosting services out there that are compliant with eBay?

This Links Policy page contains the list. You'll need to open one of the sections:

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-policies/links-policy?id=4248

You may LINK to a video hosted on one of these sites. You can not EMBED the actual video unless the video service is providing HTML5 codes, and most of these sites don't.

• YouTube
• Vimeo
• Brightcove
• Ustream
• Screencast
• Kizoa
• DailyMotion

You may directly EMBED the video codes for an HTML5 video that is hosted on your own website or hosting service.  This is basic HTML5 video embed code:

<video controls height="240" width="320">
<source src="https://yoursite.com/movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Wondering is self-hosted is allowed.

As well as this code

"<video controls preload="metadata" src="https://yoursite.com/movie.mp4" loop muted></video>"

Self hosting is allowed on the server of your choice, as long as the server can deliver the video over an https connection.

The sandbox feature of eBay's description iframe should block autoplay. I'm not sure if any other video features would be blocked, or if the muted attribute would unblock autoplay.  Functionality will be a feature of any particular browser's reaction to sandbox.  Trial and error will probably provide answers.

Thank you, after some testing, I have got everything to work with self-hosted .MPV files.
