1. Best practice for multi-variation picture setting

Case1: you only have one variation property.

Case2: you have more than one variation properties.

* Please note that eBay only allows one property for variation pictures, you may choose which property for variation picture display on eBay back end, but in SoldEazy the default variation picture property is the first property.

Put the variation property that you want to use as variation picture in the first variation property, and set variation picture link for the first child SKU under that variation spec.

Result: When you choose different Color, eBay will show picture for different Color.

2. Correct but not necessary setting

User only needs to set picture once for each variation spec under first variation property, repeated input is not necessary.

3. Problematic setting1

User intends to use the second property for variation picture display, but this setting uses the same picture for all variation specs under the first property, then eBay will display the same picture for all options.

* Please note that eBay only allows one property for variation pictures, you may choose which property for variation picture display on eBay back end, but in SoldEazy the default variation picture property is the first property.

If you already used properties "Model" and "Color" to list to eBay, you cannot switch property order in an active listing, the only way to switch to best practice is to delist listing, modify the datasheet and relist.

But if you don't want to end listing, you can change property values, so that property one can function correctly as the variation picture property, see example below:

4. Problematic setting2

User intends to set different variation picture for each SKU, but the result is that there are different pictures for the same variation spec under first property, eBay might use random ones for display.

If each child SKU has its own variation picture, the best practice is to use only one variation property, see the example below

If you already used properties "Model" and "Color" to list to eBay, you cannot change property name or delete the second property in an active listing, the only way to switch to best practice is to delist listing, modify the datasheet and relist.

But if you don't want to delist listing, you can change property values, so that each SKU has unique value in the first property and the same value in the second property, see example below.
