Make your eBay posts stand out with video
Monday, August 10, 2009
Millions of Americans sell items on eBay as a part-time or even full-time job. If you're looking to gain an edge on your competition -- such as making your iPod nano stick out from the 2,000 others -- then you might want to consider adding video to your listing. And hey, it's free.
A new service called Vzaar lets eBay sellers create a video ad from a camcorder, digital camera or mobile phone and then insert it into their eBay listing.
You can upload up to 30 videos per month for free. However, power sellers who want to upload a lot more than 30 videos per month will have to pay for that luxury (cost depends on the number of videos).
More info is at Vzaar.

I am a syndicated technology journalist and author. I've spent the last 12 years waist-deep in gadgets, gizmos, gear and games. I'm very much living the "digital lifestyle," whether I'm flashing barcodes on my BlackBerry to board a plane, backing up my laptop's data onto a USB memory watch (Ok, so I know it's geeky) or jamming with my three kids in Rock Band. Like you, I love this stuff. So come back every Monday and Wednesday for new entries.
