Hey there @vauxhallpartsuk - welcome to our forums and thanks for using Dropbox!

From what I see on the link you provided they seem to have used a shared link to embed this video file on eBay. 

[With Dropbox, you can create a sharable link to any file or folder in your Dropbox folder. Anyone with the link can view the contents, but can’t edit them.]

Let me know if this helped at all!

Hi, its not that easy, i have tried, it needs to be added to embeded code 

<video width="480" height="320" style="font-size: 14pt; min-width: 100%; max-width: 100%;" src="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/kwcz4hih8e7a2q6/91133%20%282016%29%20Vauxhall%20Corsa.mp4?dl=0" autoplay="" loop="" controls="true" muted="" type="video/mp4" playsinline=""></video>

that is the code they use but i cant get mine to work like there one 

thanks for the help

At the end of the link, replace the ?dl=0 with ?raw=1.

tried that but it didnt work either and if you look at the embeded code they use the ?dl=0 is in theres so im not sure what im doing wrong as they have it working on ebay 

thanks for trying though
