Image Editor: retouch your live listing photos and update eBay

The Image Editor lets you open any live listing, flick through its photos in a filmstrip, retouch several of them in one sitting, and then publish the whole updated set back to the live eBay listing. This article walks through the workflow and the limits worth knowing before you rely on it.

Opening a listing in the Image Editor

1. Find the listing you want to work on and open it in DashVue.
2. Open the Image Editor for that listing. It loads all of the listing’s current photos into a filmstrip along one side of the screen.
3. Click any thumbnail in the filmstrip to load that photo into the main editing view.

Because the Image Editor is built around a single listing at a time, you always see the full set of photos that are currently live on that listing before you change anything.

Retouching photos in one session

1. With a photo loaded from the filmstrip, apply the retouching you want.
2. Move to the next thumbnail in the filmstrip and repeat. You can work through as many of the listing’s photos as you like before publishing anything.
3. Preview each edited photo before moving on. Nothing reaches eBay until you publish.

Publishing the updated set back to eBay

Once you are happy with your edits, use Publish to push the changes live. This sends the whole updated photo set for that listing back to eBay in one go, rather than one photo at a time.

What to check before you publish

Review every photo in the filmstrip, not just the ones you edited, since Publish sends the full set for that listing. Make sure the edited photos still accurately represent the item, since misleading photos on a live eBay listing can lead to returns and policy issues the same as misleading text would.
