You can upload product images and image revisions to the marketplaces you sell on. The image file formats JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIF are supported. Monsoon offers free image hosting for images with a minimum size of 500 pixels on the longest side and a maximum size of 1024KB.
Notes Images in Monsoon Marketplace are tied to a product, not to a particular SKU. When you add or change a SKU's image in Monsoon Marketplace, that image is added or changed for all new and used condition Monsoon Marketplace SKUs associated with that product.
When a product has multiple SKUs, Monsoon Marketplace uses the most recently added or changed image in the Image 1 field (the primary product image for eBay and Amazonl) for all of the product's SKUs.

When you upload an image in Image 1 and a stock eBay catalog image exists for the item, eBay will use your uploaded image. New, revised, or relisted listings (including Good Till Cancelled) that do not meet the picture quality requirements are subject to listing blocks or removal from the site. Tickets, eBay Motors Vehicles, and eBay Motors Parts & Accessories categories are exempt from these requirements. At least one photo per listing is required. A border, text, or artwork is not allowed on the picture. A watermark is allowed for ownership and attribution, but not for marketing information. When you list a new item against the eBay US catalog, you do not need to provide an image as eBay uses (pre-fills) the catalog image by default. When an item is not in the eBay US catalog, you can upload the item's primary gallery image, and then add additional images directly on eBay. If you sell items in used condition, you cannot use the stock eBay catalog image as your primary gallery image unless your used item is in the Books, Movies, Music, or Video Game category. New and used items in the Books, Movies, Music, or Video Game category will use the stock eBay catalog image by default. For used items in all other categories, you will need to upload your own primary gallery image. Note: Images in Monsoon Marketplace are tied to a product, not to a particular SKU. If you add or change an image in Monsoon Marketplace, that image is added or changed for all new and used condition Monsoon Marketplace SKUs associated with that product. |
