Image cache reuse from csv inventory import
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

I’m the IT part of the team and have a technical concern. Will try to explain it as clearly as I can.

The Etsy importer copies/caches all listing images it may find over the other place. They look like [URL removed]
[URL removed]

I’ve deleted these imported listings from my booth, but the images at bonanzleimages are still there.

Now, is it safe to refer to these same bonanzleimages in CSV Inventory Import, and create new listings with them?

Our images are hosted at amazon and bonanzle was the name of the site originally…

Any time you upload a photo, that is what the url will be….as to how long it remains on the servers at amazon…I do not know for sure

I do know that the images will remain for a certain period of time after deletion of the listing, but the best thing to do is to just go ahead and test the urls to see if the photos are still there.

I have some photos that have remained on the servers for over 5 years but others have disappeared after a while..

So to be absolutely sure, you may have to ask support

Thanks, ccmom. That’s exactly my concern. They should clean the cloud from time to time to save space and costs of redundant crap. If the images are linked with the original listing that’s bad news. I’d expect the images to be deleted by last access date or something like that, but it’s a dev decision.

Preferred to ask here because support is a bit …slow to respond, and they seem to have a look at the forums it seems.
