Best Practices for Image Management

• Updating Existing Images: When replacing images, a best practice is to delete the old images prior to uploading new ones. This action prevents the marketplace or shopping cart from displaying outdated images.
• Preserving Old Images: If you want to maintain existing images without updating them, do not map them in your NetSuite Connector. Alternatively, clear the mapped image field on the product, which will stop syncing the image data.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your eBay listings feature the correct images, enhancing your product listings' visibility and attractiveness to potential buyers.
