Imgur works, you have to select the correct code attached to the picture to make it work.
Possible to share screen shots of the process with your actual images redacted?
I never could get it to work and I am sure I am not alone. Would be helpful.
Thank You!
Steve
If this leads to my pictures…fine… But this is what I put in the column for main image. Then I go back and add additional images.
It comes from this over at IMGUR.com
Once you upload your photo at Imgur, you can click on it and it expand to give you those different codes/links etc.
I gotta do one item this morning to finish up a collection – so I’ll double check that I’m giving you the right info.
I got to say I am not much of a doily fan, but that is pretty damn cool. If that went with anything in my home, I would consider something like it.
I love seeing niche sellers that kick ■■■ at their niche.
Thank you for the compliment – some are handmade, some are what I call buy sell. I got lucky in that my wholesalers have not “thought it through” and didn’t do a trademark or UPC codes. So I can do all that and get “control” so to speak. IF my kids don’t want to take over, then the one supplier will I bet because I’m his biggest buyer. That company’s owner is my age, and he has one employee who is about the age of my kids and he wants the business. So he can hire an employee – to replace me when I retire…and maybe just pay me or my kids a percentage, or else his biggest buyer simply quits.
When you become the largest customer, it becomes much easier to buy the supplier. Give your kids a doily empire. ![]()
they don’t want it like that…they’ve headed in different directions. Mainly my fault. When they were growing up if they touched my sewing machine or my silver scissors I threaened to kill them. I was very strict about that… so they properly shyed away from learning to sew…my fault. Time will tell which way we truly go. Hopefully, I won’t have to make that decision soon. They still have many years in their chosen careers before making any switches on their end as well.
Well…I have to come back with an uupdate.
Got a surprising phone call yesterday from one of my suppliers – wanna buy my business?
Spoke with the family – two daughters mainly – and they are saying they’d support me looking into it.
My head is spinning quite honestly. I understand the fundamentals, but have never asked a bank for so much money on a loan.
Debt triggers me from my past…when EX#2 took our joint debt to outer space…
Say a prayer for me, chant, wish me good luck – whatever you believe in. I’ll take it.
@Roxy I have posted this elsewhere here, but not sure if you have seen it or if it is a concern in your case.
Walmart would not allow me to register with my business name and business address (post office box). Since I am a sole proprietorship, my business is included on my personal tax return which has my personal name and my home address. I have an EIN, showing my dba. Walmart didn’t care. They wanted my info EXACTLY as shown on my tax return. When I put up my first listing, my personal name showed on the first page of the listing and when I clicked to seller info, it showed my personal address. I opened a case, was directed to correct my tax profile, but I ran into the “how I filed my taxes” scenario again. This was a deal killer for me, and I discontinued any attempts to list and sell on Walmart.
Amazon, Etsy and eBay all allow me to use my business name and business address.

Thanks for sharing that, I hadn’t seen your posts before. I’m still sort of lost over on Walmart, but so far I’ve mastered (I think) the art of listing, I just can’t tell if my listings are live or if they’re ever going to sell. ![]()
I also had to give them my real name (sole proprietor) and home address, which is kind of obnoxious, but I’m not sure how many buyers, if any, bother to look.
I use Walmart for buying a lot, and after dealing with all the Chinese scammers on Amazon, make a point of checking out a seller’s information wherever I shop. But based on what we see on Amazon, most people don’t bother to. Otherwise, they certainly wouldn’t buy from companies called Best Deals USA when their real name is wungziohungxexiouchezcko or something. ![]()
Amazon question on this Walmart thread -
this is a good idea, asking repeat buyers for reviews. Are you using the Request a Review link on their order page? I’ve never asked for reviews but I think this situation requires it: Amazon’s Choice
Yes… It works really really well…
Our secret to success and the combating of fake negative reviews from the one competitor of ours that has been relentlessly stalking us since they arrived on the scene a few months after we did.

I need to do that then! I have repeat buyers on my grocery items so I will start asking them for reviews.
We have enough orders on Amazon, and repeat orders too, that we could do this. (Ask for reviews from repeat buyers.) We have never ever asked for a review.
Our problem with Walmart, is in the first month a person bought a popular product of ours. Then they gave us a one star review, on us the seller, and a one star product review.
I can deal with that, except that we have a 100% record on our seller account on Amazon, that could change any day, I know that. And 4.8 stars on the same product on Amazon.
To this day we are a one star seller on Walmart.
We have been on Walmart for several years now, no traction. Our products are made for the Walmart market. Well not made, but fit the Walmart market. Very family oriented items.
@doilyboutique444 helped us to onboard, just asking for thoughts on how we kick this channel to the next level.
That’s awful! Buyers should be required to contact sellers before leaving really poor reviews. Maybe some accountability would deter them or at least stop devious competitors and the wrong order responses.
Emphasis added.
I think you found the target. Funny thing is this “product” we gave it away for free. Almost killed us, since it was so popular. We had to start selling it, or eliminate it to stay in business.
Since “free” indicates, we pay shipping, that alone, in addition to CoGS we could not afford to loose more.
So? Buy some reviews with Bazaarvoice. They are approved by Walmart for this.
ORRRRRRRRRRR - Use the their new review accelerator program.
Don’t let anything stand in your way. Use every tool you can in the most cunning way possible. This is how winners win. Some winners win by cheating but there are also legit ways to win too.
Happy Easter
Steve
