Variations

[higher_up]

I am trying to list multiple items in one listing with variations but I can not see where to add details. I read the eBay help page but it says

Most categories are set up for eBay listing variations. You can create and manage your variations through the new listing tool or Seller Hub. Each tool will walk you through the process.

When listing, do the following:

• Describe the features of the item that are standard across all of the items
• Specify your variations and the options for each variation
  • Each listing can have 5 variation details and up to 50 values for each of those details
  • For example, if you’re selling shoes, your 5 variation types could be color, size, width, material, and style. Each of those details can have up to 50 values: 50 different colors, 50 different sizes, and so forth
  • You can have up to 250 variations in a single listing for no additional fee
• Review the variations to make sure your inventory matches exactly with the quantity selected for each variation; you can delete variations for which you are missing inventory
• Add pictures (up to 12 for each variation)
• Add quantities and price, which can be different for each variation of your item

Any help?

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 while working from your computer. The new listing tool can be accessed through Seller Hub.

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. When using the new listing tool, in the pricing section make sure you have selected 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.
