Frequently Asked Questions
Will deleting images from the File Manager delete the images from my products?
No. It will delete the Product and Category Images that are stored in the File Manager. To clarify, your Product and Category Images - when uploaded to your EKM online shop from the Add/Edit Product window, via spreadsheet and the Import/Export feature or using the eBay Import feature - are duplicated and renamed, and stored in a dedicated folder. The images listed against your products will remain in place unless you completely delete that individual product, rename the product (in which case the image file will be replaced with a new version that matches the new Product Name) or replace the Product Images manually for that specific product. This is to avoid situations where product and category images are deleted in error.
Can I download all of the images before I delete them?
If you wish to download all of the Product and Category Images on the File Manager, you will need to contact the Customer Support Team and request an image download. You can read more about this here.
