Rule one, you cannot link to an external site where your items are for sale. You will need to sign up for Managed Payments to sell on eBay. I suggest you make physical copes of the videos you want to sell and list them.

All sellers are required to enroll in Managed Payments.  You need to provide your checking account (routing# only) and social security# (for tax purposes).   EBAY deposits money directly into your checking account.

Name on your checking account, social security card and EBAY account must be EXACT MATCH (or your application may be denied).   Must be your legal name (no nicknames).

You want to sell a film about the Greensville Sit In? GREAT. You can list it along with the other Black American Activists listings. 

And wow, just WOW. I never looked at listings before for Black American Activists but some of those listings I find are offensive.

Especially Look out Whitey Black Panther's Gone Get Your Mama.

ANYWAY, you will need to attach a checking account for managed payments payouts and a debit or credit card for seller fees. 

Have you done that yet?

6. Manage customer service: Be responsive to buyer inquiries, provide excellent customer service, and promptly resolve any issues that may arise.

Specific requirements for selling on eBay may vary depending on factors such as the item category, condition, and seller location. It's recommended to review eBay's seller policies and guidelines to ensure compliance with their terms.

Regarding your website about Black American Activists in film and video production, you can sell related products such as documentaries, books, merchandise, or other items relevant to your niche. Remember to tailor your listings to appeal to your target audience.
