I've spent two hours trying to figure out how to create a listing with variations, and I'm about to lose my crap. I've tried several different categories, buy it now format, new listing, advanced listing, etc. No matter what I do, I never get the "Create Variations" button to appear on my listing. There has to be something I'm missing, but I have no idea what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
