Anyone know how to upload videos from Ipad to listings?

[myautopartsdude]

So I thought I would try to use the video feature for listings. Problem is, I list using my Ipad rather than a PC and there seems to be no options to upload a video to listings. I tried to send it to my email to download it and then edit my listing with a PC to add the video but of course videos are always to large to send through email. Anyone know any easy way around this? I still can't believe with all the Tech in this world, we still can't send a simple video through email or even through text.

What's the video size?

eBay's maximum supported video size is 150 MB.
eBay's maximum upload resolution is 1080p.

Apple iMessages maximum supported video size is 100 MB (if my memory is correct).

You can only upload videos using the advanced listing tool. Are you using the app or the website on your iPad? If you're on the web, you can switch to the new listing tool in the upper right. If you're on the app, switch to the web version so you can access the new listing tool.

If you're desperate to transfer the video to your computer, use a service like DropBox.

It's Apple, they specialize in making the use of any type of device that isn't Apple very difficult.

Maybe you get get it to your PC via icloud, just a guess as I gave up on anything Apple in 1984 when they moved to proprietary everything. Even if you do that it's quite possible you will have to find an online converter since the format Apple uses for images/video is also often a proprietary format.

I hear that the EU is forcing Apple to give up on the lightning cable and switch to the otherwise universal usb connection.

Thank you so much! Very helpful! I was using the app and didn't even think to switch to the web on the Ipad. Been doing it this way for years and sometimes change throws you a loop.
