Is there a way to download/save a video that is included in an ebay description?

In the same way that you can right click a listing picture and select "save image as"; there doesn't seem to be a "save video as" option.

If you have Win 11, either the snipping tool or xbox game bar will do it. It records the whole screen though.

Video download helper chrome extension might be worth a try.

View the video using the Ebay app on an android tablet or phone and use the inbuilt system screen recorder to record the video (it records whatever is on the screen which is very handy indeed)

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I should have said I use a laptop running Windows 10.

So no straightforward way such as right click save as?

easy option?
Play the video and video it with your phone.

Would that work or would the screen refresh constantly show?

There is no way straight from Windows, if you install Realplayer Downloader you should then get the option to download the video if you hover the mouse over the video. If that fails you can paste the web address into the downloader instead.

Just tried what I said in my post above and can confirm it works. Not quite as simple as right click but only takes a few clicks.
