    Exclamation Many eBid/YouTube video links not working

    Just in the past couple of days I've noticed that some (about half) new YouTube links I've pasted into eBid listings are not working which led me to check some of my existing video links and I've found that many (though not all) are also not working (they worked before). The links are still valid (I've checked) but they don't work from the eBid page. I suspect that it's something YouTube are doing traffic wise (they've gone s bit weird since they brought in the new comments system last week) but it does need looking into urgently as some of us are relying on the videos to coax more buyers and many listings are now showing a big white empty space where the video should be which messes up the whole listing layout.

    Thanks for checking - things seem to have gone back to normal. I've checked about a dozen that weren't working and they are all OK now. Hmmmm ... a case of watch this space I think - fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. Cheers.

    Thanks, Dean. Yes. I get the impression that they've been under some level of attack from folk who are anti their new comments system and are putting some restrictions on traffic in response - this may or may not be connected with that.
