Drag & Drop images into your listing

When managing single listings, Img.vision customers have at their disposal this first solution, which allows you to drag and drop images uploaded to your account, directly into your listing description. We’ll take care of hosting the images and showing them to your listing visitors.

Add an image list

Another solution available to you as an Img.vision customer is to add image lists to your single listings. For example, if you have book with stamps, you can show page after page, indicating every stamp on each page.

Add an image gallery

A third and final solution available is to generate an image gallery with the Img.vision gallery generator, and add that gallery to you listing description. The gallery uses non-active code and is supported by eBay.

Bulk upload CSV product files referencing images

This article goes into depth on all ways you can manage multiple listings on eBay. The Merchant Integration Platform is the way sellers upload CSV files with product data and create listings. Inside those csv files, you reference images that are hosted online at Img.vision. Img.vision ensures a fast and reliable integration of your images in your listings.

Img.vision features

Img.vision makes image hosting easy and quick. Here are some of the powerfull features we have.

https secure images

Images are delivered over secure https. This means you comply with eBay’s guidelines of embedding images in the product description.

Permanent static image links

The links we generate for your uploaded images are permanent static links. This means they end with the filename of the image, don’t contain loads of extra characters, and can easily be referenced in spreadsheet formulas. They are not dynamic so they don’t change, nor expire.

Smooth Img dashboard even with 1k+ images

If you use Dropbox web with folders containing over 1000 images, your browser will become laggy and unusable. The Img dashboard was built to handle thousands of images smoothly.
