Listing videos (and video shorts)
The video slots on your detail page — brand-uploaded demos in the image block and the related-video shelf below — plus the third-party creator videos that show up whether you like them or not.
Brand-registered sellers upload videos to the listing's image block (the video thumbnail after images) and to the Videos section lower on the page. Demonstration footage measurably lifts conversion on products with fit, size, or how-it-works doubt — the same questions Rufus gets asked, answered in motion.
The shelf also hosts influencer-made shoppable videos, including on competitor listings — which is both a threat (comparison videos on your page) and the cheapest video-content channel available (seed creators, collect footage). Minimum viable: one 30-second demo per hero ASIN answering the top pre-purchase doubt; the phone-shot honest version outperforms no video every time.
The numbers
- Placements: image-block video slot + Videos shelf on the detail page; requires Brand Registry to upload.
- Creator shoppable videos also populate the shelf — on your listings and competitors' alike.
