TIPS & TRICKS
More SellerMail tips this week. Did you know you can hyperlink an image in your messages? In SellerMail, when editing a message, place your cursor in the message body where you want the image to appear, then click to insert an image:
Once the image is inserted, double-click on it to get the Image Properties dialog. Click the Link tab:
You can then add a URL that the image will link to and click OK.
Note, this does need to be a URL, and not one of the SellerMail variables. The URL can only link to an Amazon domain.
We’re adding new features to this area which will allow you to easily select product images and turn them into links. For now use the above method to turn an image into a link that can be clicked.

Three engineers are on a road trip, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a software engineer. They pull over at a restaurant to eat, and when they try to leave the car won’t start.
The mechanical engineer says, “Let me check the starter.”
The electrical engineer says. “Let me make sure the battery is connected. Always try the easiest solutions first.”
The software engineer rolls his eyes and says, “Before we do anything else, let’s all just get out of the car and then get back in.”
