Not seeing Variations when creating a listing

[tomsindustries]

Trying to sell a sneaker for which I have 50+ pairs of varying sizes. I do not see the ability to add variations anywhere on the page. I've clicked everywhere to look for it and I can not find it. If it helps I also have the Basic Store subscription.

Getting to Variations the first time takes several very specific steps.

This is a long message. Follow step by step and you will get there. Ask questions if you get stuck.

1) To add different options/sizes/colors to one listing (Variations) you need to use the "New Listing Tool" on the website

-- Neither Mobile App nor the website "Quick Listing Tool" will allow variations

2) Not all eBay categories support variation listings. (Some categories of Collectibles, Antiques, eBay Motors, and Business & Industrial do not allow variations).

Very important steps [if you don't do these first, steps 6-8 will not work]

3) Start a brand-new listing (don't try to revise an existing Active listing, don't use a "matching" product, don't use a listing template)
4) Add a Title and a Category
5) Make it a Fixed Price listing (Choose "Buy It Now" in "Format" and Turn OFF "Allow Offers")

Then, you will be able to find variations this way:

6) Click the " ︙ 3 dots" in the upper right-hand corner
7) Select Settings
8 ) Turn On the Switch for Variations
(if you skip the earlier steps, this switch will not be here)

9) You will now be able to find the "Edit" Pencil for Variations below "Item Specifics" and above "Description" on the right.

- It must be a NEW listing, not a listing that is already live
- You must use the "New Listing Tool" with ︙ 3 dots in the upper right.
- It must be in a category that supports variations.
- It must be a fixed-price listing.

-- Here is a webpage where you will be able to find more information about Variations https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/creating-listings-variations?i...

If you get stuck, please let me know so I can clarify.

I came back to this to close it because I just found it after looking for 20 minutes... hiding behind those 3 dots at the top right corner!! Thank you for the help
