I just wanted to pass along the following info to anyone who may benefit.

If you have a video of your coin, you can upload it to YouTube and then embed that video into your eBay listing description.
The steps are fairly simple:

  1. Upload video to YouTube
  2. Go to:
    https://www.isdntek.com/tagbot/YouTubeConverter.htm
  3. Paste in the url of your YouTube video into the provided box and click the "Make eBay Code" button
  4. Copy the resulting code into "Item description" box (make sure you are in the "HTML" section...I paste my code below whatever is already there-where the red arrow is in the image below)

Images below show the description before any code, then with code, and finally the result.

    I doubt our good friends over in China or Bulgaria will take advantage of it. :|

    Would you consider doing a deal outside of ebay for a lower price ?
