Is it weird that an eBay seller wants you to upload a video of a faulty product to YouTube?

I got something and part of it didn't work,

I sent pics but the eBay DM system doesn't let you share videos.

And the seller asked me to link them a YouTube vid.

I dunno, it just feels kinda weird 😕

Easier way to show video of the the failing product. Photos do not prove faulty unless visibly broken.

It may be a bit odd bit it sounds like a reasonable request for proof the thing is actually defective.

Would you send a video through eBay if it allowed you to?

@deadgerbil yeah

@Fishy so it would be a privacy concern then?

If I really wanted a replacement, I would just make a new YouTube account if I had that privacy qualm.

The request itself isn't weird as people scam all the time and people want to verify it's actually broken

@deadgerbil I just think it's dumb that eBay doesn't allow you to upload vids 😕

Don’t do anything outside EBay. Any issues take it to customer service.

Either they want proof or they're just stalkers

You don't need to make a video. Just request a return through eBay.
