Policy Violation

[moira9b]

I listed 3  items today. I put a link to YT on them all and a comment to contact me if any questions. One item came back with policy violation? I requested a phone call, the agent advised me to remove the YT link and the contact me. I did tell him I do that a lot, but no, I still had to remove it from this one item? 

Is it AI that checks these listings. If I go back later will it accept the YT link?

I'm selling junk journals and I feel it helps the potential buyer to see what they are interested in?

Correct ebays junk AI checks new listings any link no matter how helpful will be flagged.

Old listings will be left until you come to relist or come to ebays attention for some vague reason at some point and will then get flagged.

You can upload your video directly to the eBay listing:

...or embed a YouTube video within the listing, but apparently not link to it: 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/listing-policies/links-policy

In both cases you need to watch out for other policy violations as described in the second link.

especially ebays AI, bargain basement AI.

On all listings you can do a short  video that is totally fine its part of the photo upload.

Sort and sweet just take quick video on your phone and upload it in the photo section.

If you after and half hour epic that needs to be a linked video not an offsite weblink.
