1. How big are your players?

   320x240 pixels and we use Flash version 9. ↵

2. How long do you store the videos for on your database?

   Presently we don’t delete them, but as vzaar gets bigger, this will no longer be possible as storage gets very expensive. We know that there are some video (about me videos) that you’ll want to keep for a while, where as there are other videos (one -off items that sold 10 months previously) and so we’ll come up with a solution to allow you to keep the ons you need and ditch the ones you don’t when we get to that bridge.

   But as a minimum, eBay requires that a listing remains live and unchanged after being sold for 90 days. So even at the very least we’ll keep the videos for 3 months. ↵

3. Is it possible to only upload audio?

   Yes it is possible to only upload audio (like an mp3 file) however you’ll have the player frame that will show a black screen while the sound plays. (So why not put an image there too.) ↵

4. What’s an About “me” video?

   An About me video is a video used to describe your business and your products to all of your potential buyers. Usually a generic video placed in all your listings it helps to support the product and build greater trust in the strengths and values of your business.

   If you would like professional help making an “About me” video of your business vzaar has teamed up with a UK production company and a US production company (who's building their vzaar page right now) that may well be able to help you. ↵

5. Can I see some “About Me” video examples?

   Yep. Here's a car company one, a dvd and entertainment company, an army surplus store and an amusing one from a shelving store . ↵

6. I need a different currency to appear on my video.

   If the right currency isn’t showing up on your videos please let us know.↵

7. I would like to edit my videos. Do you have any advice?

   Sure, if you have a Mac it’s very simple indeed. Apple have nailed the simple movie editing software and it’s very user friendly and better yet comes as standard with your new Mac. It’s called iMovie.

   If you’re the remaining 80% of people that don’t have a Mac, but instead own a PC, there are other options available to you. Microsoft have produced there equivalent to iMovie, and is called moviemaker. It’s available on the Windows XP and Vista.

   As to how to use them - best to look at the manuals provided with them. ↵
