Listing with Variations
Why do I not see the "Variations" Option when I am completing a listing? I understand that this might not be available on some categories, but how do I determine if that is the root issue?

First, you must be using the advanced listing form on desktop. If you are a new seller and were put into the Quick Listing form, you should see the option to switch to the business tool at the top of your listing form.
Once you are on the Business Listing form (the new Unified Listing form), use the triple dots at the top to open the Settings gear. On that screen, if you are posting in a category that allows variations, you should see the option to enable the variation section on the listing form. Once that option is enabled, it will remain that way.
The Variation section will appear slightly above the description area.

OP3 years agoMuch appreciated, ShipScript. Very helpful and ultimately helped me validate my understanding of setting up multi-variations.
As it turns out, we are listing products within categories that do not support multi-variations.
I was provided the following link that Wayne provided within Chat support.
"Multi-Variation Best Practices: Category Listing"-- (actually message wouldn't send with the link provided, so apologies for not being able to share)
Since I couldn't find this link on my own, but it was a huge time-saver.
Wayne mentioned it was a archived link he was able to pull up for me. It provides a reference as to which categories do (and don't) support multi-variations. Would have been handy to have this link referenced on the pages/articles on multi-variations.
Thanks again.

Yes, that list would have been handy, although it became outdated as new categories were added. I apologize, as I should have found the link for you. I had suspected you might be listing in an industrial category, but thought you might be posting back here. The list is found on this tutorial page:
