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.

@dolphinsaraht I checked sold listings for Five Nights at Freddie's accessories and active listings and it looks like sellers mainly just list these as lots. Meaning you show the picture all of the items you are selling and then list it for one price. You could do a Buy It Now or an Auction.
If you use the Auction format then you need to start the Auction a price you will be happy with for ALL of the items if you get just ONE bid.
If you'd like to try and list as a Variation Listing the option is available in the that category but you must use the Advanced Listing Tool that is located in Seller Hub while working from a computer.
This is a tutorial that eBay has that might help you>
I am going to tag a fellow Mentor and ask them for the Tutorial that wrote they wrote. @shipscript I lost my bookmark for your Variations tutorial, will you please share it.
Here is the tutorial for creating variations:

After you create each variation on the listing form, you can continue with the variations and add one or more photos to each variation within the variations area.
