Hi, welcome to the Folksy community! I think there’s an issue with photos at the moment - we just need to be patient and hope it’ll be fixed soon. As regards traffic, this platform has practically no built-in traffic compared with E, it’s much smaller and less well known, so we have to work harder to build a following and bring viewers and buyers to our own shops. It’s taken me a year to build up anything that feels like traction (and that’s after 15 years on E). There are lots of forum posts with ideas if you do a quick search - Instagram is used by a lot of sellers, ditto Facebook - I try to do the ‘Folksy Friday’ promotion regularly in hopes that if enough of us promote other people’s listings they may in turn help to promote ours… it fosters goodwill anyway…
and I’d certainly recommend taking part in the Folksy market events, the last one was really good for me in terms of sales and traffic and there are two more coming up Join our Christmas 2023 events | Folksy Blog
