# Manage variation images on eBay
eBay allows up to 24 images per listing for both single and variant listings. For variant listings, each variation can have its own assigned images, but these must originate from the parent listing’s image set (maximum 24 images). Refer to [this article](https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/adding-pictures-listings?id=4148) for more details.
In the Images tab under each LitCommerce listing details page, you can drag and drop to rearrange the images to your preference.
Additionally, remove the redundant images by hovering over them and click `x` on the top-right corner.
This article walks you through how to manage your eBay variation images in LitCommerce.
## **How LitCommerce automatically assigns images to your variations**
### **Listings with only one variant attribute**
If the listing only has one variant attribute (e.g. Color), LitCommerce will automatically transfer the corresponding variant images from the Main Store to the eBay listing.
Variations that do not have an image assigned in the Main Store will take the product thumbnail image as the default.
### **Listings with more than one variant attribute**
You can only map eBay variation images using one variant attribute. For eBay listings with two or more variant attributes (e.g. Color and Size), LitCommerce automatically assigns variation images according to the variant attribute that has only one image per option.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Auto-assign images only apply when the listings are first added from All Products to the LitCommerce eBay channel. Later updates to existing listings will not trigger this feature.**
{% endhint %}
## **How to manage variation images manually in LitCommerce**
For variant listings, LitCommerce offers the ability to manually assign images for each variation using the `Manage Variation Images` button. Follow the steps below to proceed.

{% step %}
Head to the LitCommerce eBay channel and click on the title to open the listing details page.

Go to the Variations tab and click `Manage Variation Images`.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Select the desired variant attribute, then click on each variation option to assign the corresponding images.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Due to the eBay API limitation, only 12 images can be mapped per variation in LitCommerce.**
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click `Save`.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
Once the variation images are set, click `Save & Publish` to send the new image data to eBay.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Use `Load Images From Main Store` to reload the updated parent images from your Main Store to the corresponding eBay listings for selection.**
