The ones you see with the pic already open are the ones that people make the tweets and then upload the picture from either computer or from online source.

Once the tweet is made, then they get the pic.twitter url from the tweet and save it into a notepad file to use again later…

For example, if I go to one of your listings

Say this [URL removed]

Hand crafted Picture Jasper necklace

I get the title, then the url and then the url of your picture

I [URL removed]

Hand crafted Picture Jasper necklace [URL removed]

in twitter (tweet box) then I click on Add photo icon and add the URL of your photo which is

[URL removed]

Then I tweet it.

Once tweeted I get the pic.tweet url which is created by twitter
pic.twitter.com/tWvSAZbmgZ

the shortened twitter URL (by right clicking and Copy Link Address) which is

[URL removed]

So now I have stored your item tweet which is

Hand crafted Picture Jasper necklace [URL removed] pic.twitter.com/tWvSAZbmgZ

and you can keep this and tweet it anytime you want…

People actually make the tweets and not click on the social media share buttons…

Thanks for adding this I always thought adding the picture took up more of the 140 characters allowed. Good to know how to do it this way.

Thank you! I will try this![URL removed]

When I tweet now from an item it automatically puts the image and the details of the listing into the tweet. You do have to click on See Details to see the image and the details of the listing. Hope this helps

Just choose your listing and select share the twitter button will pop up along with Pinterest, Facebook, and Google Plus. Select Twitter and it will come up with a pre written tweet that you can tweek.

But I see many tweets in my timeline with the pic.already there-no need to click to see it. Much more effective!
