Selling multiple items in one post

Hello, and thanks in advance for your help

I sell books on eBay, and for a particular collection, would like to list several in one post for buyers to select from (buy one or more).

This seller (item 116026977293) lists their books in the format I am trying to duplicate:

"Titles" instead of "Title" and a drop-down menu.

How does one do that?

The feature is called "Variation listing", and is not correctly used in that example listing.  All items in a variation listing should have much in common and all be in similar condition. For books, this might include various novels from a single author, or books in a series.  The seller had to use the label "titles" on the droplist because "title" is a reserved item specific.

A variation can be created on the business listing tool, but not on the Quick listing tool or mobile app. You can start a variation listing by selling "sell one" from that example listing. Then change the title and item specifics to match your common denominators.  It will not come with any populated variations or photos.  The "Variation" section is just above the description. If you don't see it there, you may need to turn it on in the settings gear by clicking the triple dots at the top of the business listing tool.
