I am having the same issue.
I have to resort to uploading images through nopcommerce admin tool one by one.
Documentation for API is misleading.

[shamnu]

@ddepassUSOM you mean, we just need to upload the images once again from admin?. I have the test data which nop commerce provided. and my API is not returning the image with the result of API

[ddepassUSOM]

Correct. I'm having the same issue you are having.

[ddepassUSOM]

So I think I figured out my problem.
if you look back at the documentation:

Create a new product with a product image which will be downloaded by nopCommerce

POST /API/products

{
  "product": {
    "name": "Skate Banana",
    "full_description": "<strong>Great snowboard!</strong>",
    "short_description": "TWIN ALL TERRAIN FUN",
    **### "images": [
      {
        "src": "http://cdn.lib-tech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-2017-Lib-Tech-Skate-Banana-Yellow-Snowboard-800x800.png"
      }**
    ]
  }
}

When posting in your code, the image class you derived needs to reflect what the actual post JSON is suggesting.

so what I did was comment out what JSON is not using below example:
 public class Image
    {
        //public int id { get; set; }
        //public int picture_id { get; set; }
        //public int position { get; set; }
        public string src { get; set; }
        public object attachment { get; set; }
    }


Then amend my code as follows:
 Image[] imgS = new Image[cnt];
                    for (int i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
                    {
                        Image img = new Image
                        {
                            //id = PFvarient.variant_id + PFvarient.files[i].id,
                           // picture_id = PFvarient.files[i].id,
                            src = PFvarient.files[i].preview_url,                            
                            //position = 1,
                            //attachment = PFvarient.files[i].size
                            //attachment = ConvertImageURLToBase64(PFvarient.files[i].preview_url)
                        };
                        imgS[i] = img;
                    }

Then generate the json for posting:
 var dsProd = new
                {
                    product = new
                    {
                        name = prd.name,
                        sku = prd.sku,
                        short_description = prd.short_description,
                        full_description = prd.full_description,
                        id = prd.id,
                        parent_grouped_product_id = prd.parent_grouped_product_id,
                        price = prd.price,
                        images = prd.images,
                        created_on_utc = DateTime.UtcNow
                    }
                };
                var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dsProd);



Hope this helps
