Description

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.
