How To Add Audio To Your eBay Listing

Adding audio to your eBay listing is a great way to describe your product in your own words to your potential bidders. It will increase your credibility and enable you to build a rapport with you bidders.

Unfortunately eBay will not host your audio files on their web site so you will need to have your own web site. You can easily use free hosting for this.

The simplest way is to record your audio using the windows sound recorder, upload the wav file to your web site then create a link in your eBay listing to the wav file. This is probably not the best way as wav files can be quite large and they need to be downloaded before they can be played.

A better way is to use mp3 format. Either convert your wav file into mp3 (free converters can be found on the net) or record in mp3 format. I use Audacity which can also be found on the net. Mp3 files can be 10 times smaller than wav files so they won't take so long to download.

If you really want your eBay listing to look and sound professional you can add a Flash Audio button. Using one of the programs reviewed on Website Audio Reviews you can upload the flash files to your web site and paste the html code into your listing.
