By default, an unpublished picture will be hosted on the EPS server for five days before being purged. However, the seller has the option of using this field to set an expiration date further into the future (up to 30 days). Similarly, when a listing ends or expires, the images associated with the listing remain on the EPS server for an additional 90 days. The value in this field will add on to those 90 days.

This field is used if the seller wishes to upload a picture to the EPS server that is currently on another external site. The URL of the picture you want to upload is passed in this field. Only https:// servers are supported. You can include only one ExternalPictureURL field per call.
