When I paste a link on Facebook, the image that comes up is always just a part of one of my items. How can I change the image so that the whole item appears?

I would upload an image of your listing from your computer and put a link to it in a comment below. FB is not very good at sharing posts that link to shops as they want us to pay for promotion. That way you also get a lovely big photo and not the little one you get with a folksy link.

I think it may have something to do with the original size of the photograph. Some websites (like Folksy) automatically resize an image and others don’t. But the idea of uploading your original photo is a great idea, and I have heard many say they get higher views when they put the link in the comments and not in the main body of the post.

I almost always post the original photo and then add a link in the comments - views on the post drop considerably if the text of the post itself contains the link. And its a nice big eye catching picture then too 😄
