To create a variation listing you will need to use the Advanced listing tool that is located in Seller Hub. It can only be accessed from a computer, not the app. I suspect that eBay has you using the Quick Listing Tool. You can look on the upper right of the listing tool for a gear to change it ( at least that used to be possible)

To access Seller Hub:

1. Go to https://www.ebay.com/sh/landing

2. Click Start Using Seller Hub

3. Then, go here to your active listings page:

https://www.ebay.com/sh/lst/active and click the blue Create listing button near the top, right-hand side of the page.

Variations can only be created when using the Buy It Now format.

If you do not see the variations option, click on the 3 dots on the upper right-hand side of the listing form, then select Settings (gear icon) and click on the variations toggle so it turns blue.

Please note: The Variation Attribute name cannot be the same as eBay's default item specifics.

You may also want to set up a calculated or flat shipping rule in your account settings so that your buyers pay the correct shipping for additional items when they purchase more than one from your listing.

Offer combined shipping and set up your shipping rule here:

On the listing form, select use my shipping rule after you set up the shipping for a single item purchase.
