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!
