Variation Listings on Mobile

Question

I sell sports cards on eBay in the mobile app and have been wanting to do a â€œyou chooseâ€ type listing but the option for a variation listing does not show up anywhere, does anyone know why or how I can make one?

@gb_cards17 You can not create variation listings on the APP. Only a computer or the full desktop site on using your phones browser which would be VERY difficult because you'd have to keep zooming in and out.

The type of listing you wish to create is called a variation listing.

You can not revise an existing listing to add variations.

Variations are not available in all categories. If you do not see the variation option after trying these steps please reply back with what the item is you are trying to list.

To create a variation listing you will need to use the new listing tool that is located in Seller Hub. It can only be accessed from a computer, not the app.

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.

Here is a link with information regarding creating variation listings:

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.
