Hello,
I'm looking at a 6.5 to 7 week old female GSD pup. I only have pictures of her. She doesn’t seem real large, but it’s hard to tell from the photo. My question is one ear is standing up and the other is down. I know this is common but is it a little early for one ear to be standing. Could this be an indication she is on the smaller side? I thought I read somewhere larger dogs ears come up slower. Also she has several littermates that appear to be long hair. Is this a problem? The pup I'm interested in does look as if she has much smoother hair.

If you plan on breeding, the long hair is a problem in my opinion. The ear thing is not a problem. Ears do that, up and down, down and up for all kinds of reasons. It may even be the way the dog is standing.
Why are you concerned about the size of the pup? Is it a runt? Otherwise small isn't a problem, you are not going to get a huge dog in a female GSD. At least you shouldn't be getting one in a GSD.
She is a VA Dux della Valcuvia pup, out of a USA Siegerin dam, we may want to show and use her to breed. We are told she is not a runt and appears to be normal proportion. Would I be able to tell from the photo if she has a plush coat or even a long hair coat?
May I ask why you are considering this pup based on only a picture? You should purchase from a reputable breeder in which you trust and who is experienced with the breeding's lineage - he or she should be able to tell you whether or not the pup is a long coat.
