ldc, thanks for the additional info.
i only have about 100 gtc listings and if i am not mistaken those have to be relisted every so often. lookandbuyme might know the answer.
so most of my listings run for 7 or 30 days. they are fixed price listings and so i will have to remove all those lovely frames. my pics already conform on the sizes but as i was cropping i found the image resize button under image management.
photos must be on 500 pixels on the long end.
i was also changing my listings to one day handling but i read further yesterday that in order to maintain top seller status, one must accept returns with the new guidelines. previously i had understood that 1 day handling and no returns would enable the top seller status but apparently that is not the case.
